I'm Bill Zortman and Welcome to It's YOUR Agri Business-Show 50- 84-in our ORIGINAL It's YOUR Business Series. 

We do have a lot to share this morning-and we have already shared quite a bit---- 

But Congressman Dusty Johnson----works closely with us in all his treks as a busy Congressman---a Candidate for Governor---and a Father and respected husband who has a lot to keep going--- 

Congressman-thanks for joining us on this Wednesday---we know that you are busy---all the talks about South Dakota's Needs--- Greenland---and what else is rattling your phones---and face to face visits 3 weeks into 2026--- 

-Dusty-- 

I know you are busy-----it was just mid-week last week---I'm sitting at home and my son Chad-is making his annual pilgrimage to Mississippi where once a year we are part of the Southern Miss-PGA Golf Draft in Hattiesburg---we lived their for a number of years-and every year for the past 2 decades---Chad and I have run or at least been part of picking 160 or so PGA Golfers for the coming season-all putting down some cash. 

This year he has just called me----and I dropped him---and on the other end was Congressman Dusty Johnson that wanted me to take part in a forum being help to take questions. 

I had to make a quick decision when the phone went silent--- so I stay on the phone for PGA Draft---or do I try to get a question for Dusty-- particularly with him joining me next Wednesday. 

I kept the tradition-----with my son----and to make up for it---I thought- I'll pick PGA Golfer Dustin Johnson-----and then tell you about I had another Johnson that needed my help. 

So I did---I apologize to you---but I'm sure my question would have asked about how you keep all the fires burning---in DC---at home-and in an interesting run for Governor---so would you answer that question first----
