Upham
Upham is a tiny city in northern McHenry County in north-central North Dakota, a small farm community near the Mouse (Souris) River loop and the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge amid wheat, canola, and soybean country, with a base of agriculture and the trades and service businesses that support the surrounding farms. Its river-and-prairie setting anchors a small rural economy. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Upham area's agriculture, trades, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
