Local Tips
Carrington's NDSU Research Extension Center has conducted agricultural research since 1906, developing crop varieties and farming practices adapted to the Northern Plains' challenging climate. The county's wheat and sunflower fields and the James River's fishing define a productive central North Dakota agricultural county.
The Fair
Every year, Carrington hosts the Foster County Fair, which celebrates a central North Dakota county where Carrington Research Extension Center's agricultural research has shaped farming practices across the Northern Plains — the NDSU Extension Station at Carrington is one of the most important agricultural research sites in the region, and the county's wheat, sunflower, and pulse crop farms surround a research-oriented agricultural community. The area's broader history includes notable events and landmarks dating to 1906.
