March 20, 2026—10-11—It’s YOUR Agri Business—Show 51-45

  From the Blackburn Studios in Downtown Sioux Falls—Become a Blackburn Protected HOME---

 

((((M-U-S—I-C---This OLE House)))))

(((YEE-HAH))))—I’m Bill Zortman and WELCOME to our It’s YOUR AGRI BUSINESS Show----SHOW 51-45 ---in our ORIGINAL It’s YOUR Business---AGRI BUSINESS SHOW---

   Agri-culture of course is #1 INDUSTRY IN SOUTH DAKOTA—and we with this show –TREAT IT THAT WAY----

 

   Now ----as we have shared with you our audience----we have been working behind the scenes---with the man who became Governor after Governor Noem---took off for DC and the Trump Tour----One Larry Rhoden.

   The Governor is one of the first office holders I’ve dealt where anywhere in the Country in the dozen states I’ve work broadcasting in that didn’t allow us to share what he was thinking with you the Public---I’m told that will change---very soon.

   Governor Larry Rhoden did sign  five budget bills into law, including HB 1326, the general appropriations act for Fiscal Year 2027. 

 

“We do a lot of things right in South Dakota. When it comes to fiscal responsibility, we are second to none,” said Governor Larry Rhoden. “This is the 137th year in a row that we have delivered a balanced budget! We recognize these dollars aren’t ours – they belong to the people of South Dakota, and I am proud of our commitment to invest them wisely.”

 

South Dakota has a AAA credit rating from every major credit rating agency, is one of only three states with a fully-funded pension program, and has a constitutional requirement that the budget be balanced.

  We kept our promise—we’ll see if the Governor does what we were told beginning next week.

 

  That is then---but this is now---and lets get started with the story lines---beginning with Darren Hefty—AGPH---heard and scene—nationwide from his Ag Castle near Baltic----

   ---Darren we were talking about it being probably one of the last flashes of winter---looks like to you—an early spring

      With that concerns about fertilizer---war in the middle east---and winter kills for wheat –alfalfa—and more planning for soybean acres—

-------------Darren----------------you are out at the state tournament---what are you seeing on the court—and in the fields---on the way out---from east river---to where the activities are taking place….

---------------Darren----------------

 

    --------Marty Jackley has joined us along with Joshua Chase—Mr. Jackley is running for Congress----

-----------Lets talk about what they are seeing in an interesting race—now that we are in the last week of March 2026---

----------------Marty & Chase tell their story-----

-----------Taped Segment------------------

    ---when we come back—we’ll visit with an old friend on mine---Dan Kippley that has announced this week he’s running for office---State Senate District 13---

--that’s next along with the morning numbers as well…

 

10:20/00—KELO—It’s YOUR Ag Business 2

10:22/00---Ag Biz 2

   The only thing I would enjoy more than interviewing a friend of mine like Dan Kippley running District 13 Senate Seat---would be if I was running to serve the public politically—just like I have done to anchor 5000 TV Shows—and now over 5100 Radio shows in Sioux Falls----

----------Dan---talk to us about why you wanted to run for office-----and what you would bring to serving the public?

--------------------Dan-------------------

    What do you see----about what you can do for the people you would serve in Senate Seat 13----that is important enough you would offer your services?

--------------------Dan--------------------

     How many are in the race-----and what will you campaign on in between now and time to go to the polls?

---------------------Dan-------------------

     This past legislative session----what did you see that needed to get done and what might you have done differently?

---------------------Dan-------------------

      Kind of questions you expect to be asked----and a couple of things you want to do as District 13 Senate Seat Holder------

     ------------Dan-------------------

      We wish you the best------and will be following along---

-----------Still to come we’ll hear from Sarah Heinrich---Growing Harvest Network---from KFGO—Fargo—our little sister station---Nolan Clarke—Plains Commerce Bank will share why you can ask Plains Commerce questions that will help you---Matt Swenson has the morning commodities---

   -----------Nolan –lots of questions right now----high taxes---high gas prices----how do you continue to function—day to day----

9:28/30—KELO Commercials

9:31/30---It’s YOUR Business 3

   Brandon Hanson---Mr. Downtown Sioux Falls keeps us plugged into what to expect in the next few days in this 9:30 slot on Friday—

 

You can feel it… Downtown is starting to wake up again. The patios are getting dusted off, people are lingering a little longer, and the calendar is filling up fast. This is one of those weekends where you really start to see the shift into spring.

 

And all month long, we’re still right in the middle of Mash Madness.

 

If you haven’t jumped in yet, now’s the time. Downtown has turned into a month-long drink competition with 31 different stops featuring beer, cocktails, coffee, and non-alcoholic creations. It’s a great excuse to explore somewhere new, grab a drink, and cast your vote for the best of 2026.

 

Now looking at the weekend…

 

Friday night, you’ve got a great mix of options depending on your pace.

 

If you want something interactive, Plum’s Cooking Company is hosting a Tex-Mex cooking class at 6 p.m. It’s hands-on, it’s social, and you leave a better cook than you walked in.

 

For live performance, Pride & Prejudice opens Friday night at the Washington Pavilion. This is a fresh stage adaptation of a classic, and it runs all weekend.

 

Also Friday, the USD Chamber Singers are performing their “Americana” concert at First Congregational Church. It’s a really strong program that blends classical and contemporary choral music.

 

And if your night leans more high-energy, Heated Rivalry Night at ICON kicks off at 9 p.m. Think dance floor, throwbacks, and a packed room.

 

Saturday is where things really spread out across downtown.

 

Start your morning with something new — SISU Pop-Up Yoga at 9 a.m. It’s free, it’s outdoors, and it’s a perfect way to kick off the first weekend of spring energy downtown.

 

Late morning into early afternoon, the Washington Pavilion hosts Wild About Science: Invertebrates, which is a great family-friendly option with hands-on learning and live animals.

 

As the day rolls into evening, you’ve got a full lineup.

 

At the Pavilion, Broadway to Hollywood with the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra brings a big, polished performance featuring Broadway talent and familiar favorites.

 

Pride & Prejudice continues Saturday night if you missed opening night.

 

Over at ICON, Reviver’s EP Release Show brings a full lineup of live music for a louder, high-energy option.

 

If you’re looking for something a little more relaxed but still a night out, Comedian Jamie Campbell is performing at Lucky’s with his national tour — a solid option if you just want to laugh for a couple hours.

 

Then on Sunday, things slow down a bit in the best way.

 

You’ve got one more chance to catch Pride & Prejudice with a Sunday matinee at the Washington Pavilion — a perfect, easy way to wrap up the weekend.

 

The big picture this weekend is pretty simple. Downtown is busy again. Events are stacking up, patios are right around the corner, and there’s something happening at every pace — whether that’s coffee and a mocktail for Mash Madness, a show at the Pavilion, or a full night out.

 

To see everything going on and plan your weekend, head to dtsf.com/events.

 

We’ll see you downtown.

 

Just ahead---we’ll check the Sioux Falls Stampede with Jimmy Ohlander-----and Cat Clark---loving the 50’s and 60’s as we get closer to Take me OUT to the Ball Game Music -----and hitting the little white golf ball---

 

9:42/30—KELO Commercials

9:44/00---Biz 3

Jimmy Ohlander---Sioux Falls Stampede

 

Stampede won their 12th straight road game on Tuesday night in Fargo, 7-3 over the Force. Stampede now have a seven-point lead over Fargo for first place in the West with six games remaining.

 

Stampede back home for the first time in a month this weekend:

 

Friday: Non-Profit Night

Saturday: Stomp’s Birthday bash with all kinds of family fun!

 

-----------Cat Clark---Golf and 60’s-----

 

60’s---starting to sound like Golf weather for those wanting out after the snow

 

Grand-opening a week ago

What dates should we be looking at for official opening on the new golf digs  for the 2026---Season

 

Comments about what you have changed---and what people want to see from  your golf course----

 

Diana Patterson has the morning Sanford Career Options—when our It’s YOUR Business Show for this Friday continues…….

 

9:53/30—KELO Commercials

9:55/00---Biz 5

      Our last stop in this 9:00—It’s YOUR Business Show is with Diana Patterson----Sanford Career Opportunities---

     Diana---thanks for joining us in the closing segment of our It’s YOUR Business 9-10---the Family Friendly Affair—that we have been doing for 10+ Years---

     So what options do you have for us today------

If you&rsquo;re looking for something a little more relaxed but still a night out, Comedian Jamie Campbell is performing at Lucky&rsquo;s with his national tour &mdash; a solid option if you just want to laugh for a couple hours.
&nbsp;
Then on Sunday, things slow down a bit in the best way.
&nbsp;
You&rsquo;ve got one more chance to catch Pride &amp; Prejudice with a Sunday matinee at the Washington Pavilion &mdash; a perfect, easy way to wrap up the weekend.
&nbsp;
The big picture this weekend is pretty simple. Downtown is busy again. Events are stacking up, patios are right around the corner, and there&rsquo;s something happening at every pace &mdash; whether that&rsquo;s coffee and a mocktail for Mash Madness, a show at the Pavilion, or a full night out.
&nbsp;

From the Blackburn Studios in Downtown Sioux Falls—BECOME A

(((MUSIC—THIS OLE HOUSE)))

((((Yee HAH---I’m Bill Zortman and WELCOME to our It’s YOUR Agri Business Show----Show 51-43 in our ORIGINAL It’s YOUR Business Series..

 

 ----We do a business Show—and we do an agri-business Show----both very, very important---not only here in South Dakota but or surrounding states as well-----each month we do a South Dakota Farmers Union show which we did yesterday----and next Tuesday---South Dakota Farm Bureau show------

 

  #1 Industry---gets attention—and it should-----we do ask our friends in Pierre and Washington to join us—to answer questions for our listeners-----

  One of those---who wants to be South Dakota Governor talked to us early this morning—and his is what Dusty Johnson had to say---

 

((((Taped Segment---Dusty Johnson)))))

 

  Meanwhile the current Governor is on the road---no availability to him or the six or seven he has on the trip that we have talked to for years-------should be availability---should be information----but we don’t have it ----

  Governor’s office has promised that he will be talking with us during the campaign---even though he has been one of the few –no answers I get for elected officials here or other neighboring states---

 

   Upcoming---Plains Commerce Bank-----Gary Popke takes what is hitting all of us---dollars available---for so many things we need in the rural area---and just how you save—that is coming next---

10:17/00—KELO Commercials

  Nolan Clarke with Plains Commerce visits with us---in this ag segment virtually every show---

 

  On occasions---Gary Popke –Plains Commerce in Sioux Falls—explains what you can be asking your banker---and how you get things answered and planned---financially---

 

  Gary—thanks for joining us---

  The kind of questions you are getting with gas prices running thru the roof in this country and around the world----cost of living not easy for seniors---or even others---

 

   Lets talk kind of questions you can ask---Plains Commerce Bank---

--------------Gary-----------------

 

   I do find banks interesting---they want you to take their special services and when you get done---the only thing special about it was that –the bank found another way to unwrap your money---and needs---in fact—we have found that in our family---with a bank we have used for decades---but they failed to be what we want them to be------somebody who keeps the depositor engaged---not just another walk to get your money---without much training

 

  I’m terribly embarrassed for those who have served us for years---that now have to ask for a $95 fee for a special feel—it doesn’t happen

 

----Plains Commerce---appreciate all you do----
