South Dakota Farm Bureau Town & Country Show

South Dakota Farm Bureau Town &amp; Country Show

Bill Zortman brings entrepreneurs and community and state leaders together to talk about business.

It's Your Business

December 31, 2024 10AM - SD Farm Bureau Town & Country Show

Blog---January 3, 2025---10-11—It’s YOUR Agri Business

In our first Agri Business Show for 2025----Darren Hefty—Ag PHD talked to us about what is ahead in 2025 in agriculture. And ahead of him---Minnesota’s Commissioner of Agriculture Thom Peterson.

The Secretary talked about all the concerns they have with disease---the hopes for 2025 to get a farm bill---and obviously prices will help in so many ways.

Secretary Peterson---joins us as did Mike Naig the Ag Secretary out of Iowa—in South Dakota---Ag Secretaries are appointed by the Governor---so for the most part they aren’t allow to speak their minds with an old ag reporter like Bill Zortman—who might put the elected office holder in a position of controversy.

Not something I do----I always ask the fair questions---and there is no position where it is designed to do anything but inform the public with the help of an elected or even appointed Ag Commissioner. No telling what 2025 might be with a new Governor---and a chance to get them started with our show and others helping those in agriculture.

Thom Peterson answers the concerns of his people---could be dying turkeys, or farm bill---and we always talk about stress on the farm—and helping those that feel they can’t continue in this life.

Darren Hefty talked about the concerns going into 2025----prices, no farm bill, and hopes that the year will be stronger. We have even talked in recent times about the fact for fertilizer farms may need to cut back and use manure---

Mr. Hefty does a 2PM Sirius Radio show---nationwide—on Sirius 143 or is it 147. He speaks to the world—the country and certainly to those in agriculture.

Lauri Hoffman—the Program Coordinator for the Community Blook Bank joined us to talk about the police-fire challenge. Over 1000 units have already been donated in that usual battle---and there are still a couple of days.

What we did learn was how specific blood donors readings MAY be to donate blood. I was set give blood on Thursday but my IRON COUNT did not match the reading of 13 required to donate. So with a 12—I was turned down but thanked. It was not only keeping the those that get the blood safe—but me as the donor. If I had donated –it may have put me at risk-----with the iron level dropping when you donate. Lauri explained completely---and even for me—who helped as President of the Red Cross for South Dakota and Nebraska—accepting blood in Columbus Nebraska and other locations—it was something I had to learn. We will work with them in the future events—and yes I’ll try to donate next time. 

Sarah Heinrichs from the Growing Harvest Network—KFGO Fargo did her educated daily farm report-----Matt Swenson had the morning commodities.

Last week we talked with one of the Lyon County Pork Advocates—Dwight Mogler. He is working to have his pork products available in restaurants including those upscale in Minnesota ---Iowa---South Dakota. He was at a point he was on a family outing in Arizona—but you know he will be pumping pork—every chance he gets. He’ll be gone for 17 days—but part of that will be the pork show in Iowa—late month---while he keeps an eye on Pork Show in South Dakota.

Alla Kureninova---our Ukrainian voice---talked with us about 2025—the change in DC---and the concerns may have. Ukrainians have been the aliens of choice to work—to live and be part of our state. We talked about events---and why after 13 years she is still comfortable—and it didn’t hurt that her family have all now made the transition---and people across South Dakota are making it known they prefer Ukrainians. 

Justin Glisin---Iowa State Climatologist –gave us a briefing on what to expect the next few days----and how he enjoys working with South Dakota’s highly experienced climatologist—Laura Edwards—and that we hope to add Minnesota’s Climatologist in 2025.

Our It’s YOUR Agri Business show is available at 1320, 105.1, 107.9—use the KELO App—Streaming on line—or just ask Alexa.

Norm Anderson posts the podcast—and we like to include this Blog as part of what is in show—and who is saying it.

Questions for me—feel free to call/text at 605-728-2455 (BILL) or email me at bill.zortman@mwcradio.com.

January 3, 2025 10AM - It's Your Agri Business with Bill Zortman

Blog—January 3, 2025—9-10—It’s YOUR Business

It’s another year—from our Friday Friends---in an hour long show that gets to cover a lot of what has happened and then the setting of the stage for what is scheduled to happened.

 

Sounds like old times to me---Sanford with another merger announcement----the marriage with Minnesota and Sanford---was well intended---but didn’t work—now we turn to Wisconsin---Jodi Schwan---got the briefing on Thursday and we’ll ask what her gut is on this event. 

Players in the mix---Irish Pub closed but for home low, the outlook for 2025 what’s good, what’s questionable, and what will be the biggest game changer?

We’ll talk about the SF Photography at the Airport—businesses found ways to give employees time off for Christmas and the end of the year.

Jodi will have a feeling about “how solid”—Retail holiday season was. And we always know there will be another story or two that is “late breaking” with Jodi Schwan.

Teri Schmitz---BBB of South Dakota----she has an organization that helps her understand the kind of scams and shams that are out there. We love to get her to share on Friday---and as she has learned thru the years---if I have a question for our audience—or even for me----I’m not afraid to bother her. Kind of like me—when somebody suggests this or that---I try to find out. Little things are said that make us throw our hands up----like the one my wife heard this week-----from a health insurance agent who said---no we don’t have tell you if we filed paid or refused to pay to a health care entity you used. My first reaction was WHAT—I thought you were in business to take care of your clients. Shame on that company----shame on the doctors or health organization allowing that---

Having served as a TV ombudsman answering consumer questions and concerns---each day----I have a general understanding what Teri goes thru helping us all understand. 

Kip Rounds---GAME Fish and PARKS—talks about the year that was ---how was the winter pheasant hunt---what should we know about the South Dakota Outdoors Season of 2024----and what’s ahead for 2025?

Teri Schmidt---Experience Sioux Falls will update us on the year that just ended---bright spots and what could be even brighter in 2025? Of course on the State Level it will be a different game with Governor Noem—now playing cops and aliens along the border. What will Kristi’s past economic development endeavors and welcoming style be like with a new Governor Larry Rhoden---new ideas---too? Events for 2025 in Sioux Falls—what should we look to ---and what can our listeners do to make those that come to visit---comfortable and want to return? It’s a whole new year—and yes a whole new day-time welcoming.

Late in 2024---Sioux Falls needed to change gears with Downtown Sioux Falls –and Brandon Hansen is in play. Each Friday we ask him to give us a look at what is happening in Sioux Falls for the weekend---and all seven days a week –like the best beef recipe served as the restaurants. As I traveled around and watched and heard stations do the welcoming thing---I have no doubt we can learn from them—and we can do it better. Our people want the visitors to come see us.

We checked with Jimmy Ohlander—the Sioux Falls Stampede----what the ice-men are doing---and what the fans can see in the days ahead. As Jimmy shared—the Stampede returned after a dozen days off and have played---at a pace that has others in the league concerned about this year’s team. Still some home games ahead and now that we have turned the corner into 2025----the fans will have a chance or two –to say---oh wow!!!

 

Mike Constanzo has a Gun Show at the WH Lyon Fairgrounds---Saturday and Sunday---This event is referred to as THE BIG ONE—thousands of people attend the event annually to see, sell, buy or trade guns and equipment.

 

The event is sponsored by the Dakota Territory Gun Collector’s Association—which sponsors this huge event---a non-profit organization. They encourage and regularly support firearm education and gun safety programs for youth. Doors opened January 4th and 5th at 9am---at the Fairgrounds---and the cost of admission is $10.00. 

 

We always like the fact that Mike works with youth who wouldn’t be able to have the opportunity to hunt---they are shown the safe ways to do it---and it can be life changer. 

 

Diana Patterson---Sanford Career Opportunities joins us on most Friday’s—today the opportunity you shared was COMPLIANCE. 

 

Our It’s YOUR Business Show as available live at 1320, 105.1, 107.9---use the KELO App—Streaming on Line or just ask Alexa.

Norm Anderson will post the podcast and this blog accompanies to share what is in the show---and the other events are to be found.

January 3, 2025 9AM - It's Your Business with Bill Zortman

Blog—December 31, 2024--It’s Your Business-9-10—

We closed out 2024----answering thoughts on this year---and looking ahead to 2025—with 4 very interesting, and projects we promise to watch looking ahead.

First guest----Tyler Tordsen---Sioux Metro Alliance---while many brag about Sioux Falls—and rightly so----I kind of favor when is going on with small communities working together. Tyler knows what it takes—he knows how to entice communities to join the party.

We know that Jodi Schwan is involved---she does a great job----we know the TV Stations are happy to put them on for dollars and cents-----but we haven’t charged Sioux Metro Alliance to get the notoriety our It’s YOUR Business Show gives them 8 times a week if necessary.

I do tell the Mayor and others from Sioux Falls—how proud we are of what they are doing----keep up the great work. But the friendly rural communities that come together is another story---we should be very, very proud of. 

We will help----we will ask---and we will help where we can. I look for even a better year in 2025.

This movement is well started---but in the scheme of things—this could be a part of clustered of communities everywhere. I guess I look at this like the work I did as “Man in Motion” in the Texas Panhandle—where I convinced 40 communities to buy their own TV cameras or recording devises and tell their stories. It turned out to be such a big deal---ABC asks me to write articles to help other TV stations to do the same. By the time I finished with KVII-TV in Amarillo---we had gone from a 7% share of the news audience to 70% share. Those numbers were legendary-even in Texas---but small communities got their due---and TV stations here could use Sioux Metro Alliance to do something like that in the years ahead.

9:19---in the show Gary Popkes and Cameo Anders---Plains Commerce Bank gave us some last minute must go things before the clock strike 2025. It is the last day to sell securities to capture any benefits of tax-loss harvesting. You are encouraged to review conversations from Thanksgiving and Christmas—and yes update your estate plan. 

Consider end of the year giving—although it may be too late to capture any charitable giving for this year-needing a postmark by December 31st---it is a prime time to think about how to be wise with your money for next year.

IRA QCD’s (qualified charitable distributions---the may count towards your required minimum distribution (RMD) up to $105,000. Pay directly from your IRA to the charity. 

Another tool that works wells is a Donor Advised Fund—for example—if you had a donor advised fund and you reached the end of the year wanting to make a significant gift, but not all to the same place or all at once, you can receive the charitable deduction when you give to the fund, but then make charitable distributions to your favorite charities—thru the next year. 

Another great tool for charitable giving is a trust—Trusts don’t have the same limitations on charitable giving—they may give you a bit more control over how the charity spends your gift. 

Planning is important whether it be newly-weds, senior citizens, organizations or business. Gary and Cameo help us share ideas with you on a regular basis.

Casey Crabtree—talked with us what to expect in the 2025—Legislative Session that is not that far away—now that January 2025 is with us—though just being born. We work with the Leader as we talk about the Legislative session----before, during and after. We want you to listen to what Casey’s says are 3 priorities for the legislature in the 2025 session. We know there will be a new Governor---Larry Rhoden----new leadership ---who makes the initial speeches Rhoden or Noem? Still to be decided and announced. What will be the issues---will there be a new Lt Governor----

We asked Casey’s what the average South Dakotan is asking him----and what they are fearful for. What about the new President in DC---even though South Dakota fell for the lines from the Former President—Hook-Line-and Sinker--- what will DC throw at State like South Dakota, the Senior Citizens, the Businesses, and yes Agriculture. It is still to be determined---and with Noem and Senator Thune having leadership in he Nation’s Capital---will it make a difference? Listen—watch---and keep track---they have or still are working for you---let them know how you are doing with the changes from the Blue States to the Red States. 

We’ll be talking with two new leaders in 2025—in the Senate---Jim Mehlhaff and Chris Karr. They are a welcome addition to our conversation with Pierre—and we hope to have them on as early as Monday to talk about 2025.

Final guest in our 2024 show finale---new Sioux Falls Health Director Joe Kippley. We know the Kippley’s----and the know us----health-wise—Joe has kept us informed monthly or more as necessary. Health care is important in not only 2024 but 2025---

Sioux Falls is a growing community, it serves as regional medical, educational, and metro center. We want to make sure that 2025---continues on—and if our audience wants a question answered—we’ll do our best to go to those that can voice their thoughts around it.

Our It’s YOUR Business Show—is available live at 1320, 105.1, 107.9—use the KELO-App---Streaming on line or just ask Alexa.

Norm Anderson will post the show’s podcast—as soon as possible-----my job is to write this blog—to give you information about what is in the show---and generally where it is in the hour. Most of the Blogs are written chronologically ---giving you a chance to know where it is. The Blog gives you times a running order too.

Questions for me—feel free to call/text at 605-728-BILL (2455) or email me at bill.zortman@mwcradio.com. Happy New Year to you and the best from all of us in 2025.
