(((((YEE HAH—I’m Bill Zortman and WELCOME to It’s YOUR Agri Business Show---52-63 in our ORIGINAL It’s YOUR Business Series

Agriculture is the #1 Industry in South Dakota—and yes deserves it’s own Show 10-11 –and we are happy to share all that is out there and what is truly happening to those affected by farming and agriculture---

----------Not just another Wednesday-----and while we are in the 2nd week of July-----we still have endorsements recounting---and lots to be decided---

  Sounds like the walk in cue for Casey Crabtree-----who keeps us sorted out on races---and does no in a political but yes non-political way as well….

  Casey as we discuss this morning---Governor’s Race----Governor wants in for the endorsements----and what else is there that perhaps we don’t see?

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

   We have been talking agriculture and taking care of our farmers with the help of those in neighboring states----all concerned about the tough times that are out there----

   We’ll have South Dakota Farmers Union on Tuesday for their hour long show---and a couple of weeks later SD Farm Bureau does their hour long show-----

   How do we get these farm organizations heard---and get some help?

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

   Other events that we should know about particularly with what is happening in the Mayor’s Race in Sioux Falls with a re-count-----

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

   Your traveling around South Dakota—what seems to be on the mind of those here---and what if anything—citizens can do about it----

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

   And--------------

   Casey---lots of counting and voting still to go—keep us posted---

We need to remember something else as well this morning—

Guest: Brad, American Legion

1. Brad, for listeners who may not be familiar with it, what is the Remembering Our Fallen Tribute, and why is it such a meaningful memorial for our community?
2. This tribute honors military members who made the ultimate sacrifice. Can you share what visitors will experience when they walk through the exhibit and why it's such a powerful experience?
3. The American Legion has played a major role in bringing this tribute to our area. Why was it important for your organization to make this event available to the public?
4. When and where can people visit the Remembering Our Fallen Tribute? Is there an admission fee, and are there any special ceremonies or events planned during the week?
5. What would you say to someone who's considering attending but isn't sure if it's for them? What do you hope every visitor takes away after experiencing the tribute?
