   I’m Bill Zortman and welcome to It’s YOUR Agri Business---Show 50-76 in our ORIGINAL IT’s YOUR Business Series….

 

   As you know---the South Dakota Legislature is meeting today—and we have been preparing to get you ready for the Governor’s 1st Speech to the session-----to launch it----and what is expected to happen today…

 

   In our Agri Business segment on Tuesday—South Dakota Farmers Union set the stage for what was to be expected beginning with not only the Governor---but with the players-----from all across South Dakota that represent their constituents.

 

   Casey Crabtree---has agreed to work with us---as will others on what’s coming up---what happened to it---and what it all means for people across this great state….

 

   The Governor’s address---the response---how close to what he suggested will be the road map of this session---

 

-------------Casey----------------

   Biggest concerns we are seeing across South Dakota----

   Why all seems to be very much divided ---first times---what will happen—how will those older or limited income come out of all that is bound to happen during this session
