   One of those that affected by the strong winds a few weeks ago was Kent Peterson---McCook County—who lost some farm property as did a lot of his neighbors.

    The Federal Government did approve damage payments for 20 or so counties---we want to know what it means—and what those affected should be doing.

   10:20---Megan Kingsbury---shared with us and the world thru Reuters---her plan for the net generation beef and yes bison packing plant for Western South Dakota.

   The hope is that the $1.1 Billion state of the Art Facility bill great ground at the beginning of 2023---

    A key part is the promise of no odor---no feeding outdoors—8000 head a day arriving by truck and rail and go directly into the new plant.

    Megan has been checking all of the boxes to keep the community happy in Rapid City----and she will be sharing an update live with us this morning.

    Around the half hour you’ll hear from Sarah Heinrich—KFGO Fargo---the Growing Harvest Network---yes they are Midwest Communication cousins and she and her team always update us in our show.

    Darren Hefty on this Farmer’s Friday---juices are audience with farm facts and figures—and this morning even a forecast beginning to come true.

   Tar spots are beginning to show up in Southeast Minnesota already. Corn leaves are rolling up in the fields across the region in nature’s defense against the drought.

   Darren can be heard at 2PM on Sirius 147 each Friday.

   As promised—Joe Batchellor—Downtown Sioux Falls—lets us have a fingerprint of the 4th of July Weekend. First Friday tonight---and then the Saturday-Sunday-Monday list of events that might indeed catch your attention.

    Our two last stops in the July 1st show---Laura Edwards---State Climatologist---on what to expect this weekend---should we be setting off fireworks----and what about the “flash Drought” over the next few weeks. She’ll give us a look at what we can expect---not only for the 4th---but the rest of the summer.
