In this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires:1."Agricultural experiment station" means the North Dakota state university main<br>research center, the Dickinson research extension center, the Williston research<br>extension center, the Langdon research extension center, the central grasslands<br>research extension center, the Carrington research extension center, the Hettinger<br>research extension center, the north central research extension center, the<br>agronomy seed farm, and any other department or agency designated by the state<br>board of higher education.2."Center director" means an administrator in charge of a research or research<br>extension center.3."Station director" means the administrator of the agricultural experiment station.4-05.1-02. Agricultural experiment station. The state board of agricultural researchand education and the president of North Dakota state university shall control and administer the<br>North Dakota agricultural experiment station subject to the supervision of the state board of<br>higher education.Funds appropriated to the agricultural experiment station may not becommingled with funds appropriated to North Dakota state university. Appropriation requests to<br>defray expenses of the agricultural experiment station must be separate from appropriation<br>requests to defray expenses of North Dakota state university.4-05.1-03. Center directors - Research and research extension centers - Recordsand information. The research and research extension centers of the agricultural experiment<br>station are under the jurisdiction of the station director. Each research or research extension<br>center must be administered by a center director who shall report to the station director. Each<br>research or research extension center shall keep detailed records of all research activities and<br>publish and disseminate research results and information for the benefit of this state.4-05.1-04. Reports. Each center director shall submit an annual report to the stationdirector as directed by the state board of agricultural research and education. Each report must<br>set forth in detail the investigations and experiments made during the preceding year,<br>recommendations for the welfare of the center, the financial condition of the center, how all<br>moneys have been expended, and the results of experiments. The station director shall submit<br>these reports, with a report of the North Dakota state university main research center, to the state<br>board of agricultural research and education and the state board of higher education on or before<br>the first day of September of each year.4-05.1-05. North Dakota state university main research center. The North Dakotastate university main research center must be located on the campus of North Dakota state<br>university of agriculture and applied science. The center is the administrative location of the<br>agricultural experiment station. The center shall conduct research and coordinate all research<br>activities of the agricultural experiment station.The research must have, as a purpose, thedevelopment and dissemination of technology important to the production and utilization of food,<br>feed, fiber, and fuel from crop and livestock enterprises.The research must provide for anenhancement of the quality of life, sustainability of production, and protection of the environment.<br>The center may conduct baseline research, including production and processing in conjunction<br>with the research and extension centers of the state, regarding industrial hemp and other<br>alternative industrial use crops. The center may collect feral hemp seed stock and develop<br>appropriate adapted strains of industrial hemp which contain less than three-tenths of one<br>percent tetrahydrocannabinol in the dried flowering tops.
