How great

Dakota Lakes is expanding and you can be a part of it! This past fall, 480 acres with large areas of Highmore soils (a very common glacial till soil) came up for sale just two miles north of Dakota Lakes' main farm. After a successful bid at auction, Dakota Lakes took possession of the land to begin soil sampling and planning. Now you can "Buy and Acre" to support the innovative research at Dakota Lakes and become part of the legacy. Read more:
