((((FROM the BLACKBURN Studios in Downtown Sioux Falls-Become a Blackburn PROTECTED HOME))))

(((((MUSIC—THIS OLE HOUSE))))

(((YEE HAH---I’m Bill Zortman and welcome to our Agri Business Show---show 52-31 in our original It’s YOUR Business Series)))

Lots of political discussions this week—Agri-Culture concerns---and perhaps still some severe Weather to give us fits--- over the next 24 hours.

  We could turn to those political candidates still running---but two of those in Pierre ---have a deaf ear right now as they look to grab the Governor’s Republican badge. Doeden---we talked more about his wife being the business maker this week----and all people wanted to know about the Governor was did he beat Aberdeen’s Doeden in the west. He didn’t!!!

  Casey Crabtree joins us this morning----for his take---he had a dental appointment so he had to pre-record as we look when he sees ahead in our spinning political world

((((Taped Segment---Casey Crabtree---SD and where we headed---))))

Friday we’ll talk with one of the two candidates seeking to become the Mayor of Sioux Falls. We’ll track the other candidate down---he has been quite---but we’ll see if he takes our invitation seriously.

-----We often talk about Sioux Falls---it’s population and industry gives us a good reason ---but to complete the picture—we need to visit with Tyler Tordsen—with the Sioux Metro Alliance-----what are the 17+ communities seeing in this interesting election year----

   Tyler----give us your best synopsis --- for your communities---what are they seeing in the races around the region---and why would it be important to their future in 2026 and beyond---

----------------------Tyler----------------

   Did the candidates give the additional due---Sioux Metro deserves working together---- for the good of all as well as each one---

-----------------Tyler----------------------

   The Mayor in Sioux Falls has been on the Sioux Metro bus for quite awhile----he understands that many of the workers can and do come from your homes-streets and churches---

--------------------Tyler-------------------

    How did Mayor Paul Ten Hakin –provide help with all his businesses---and people living in the biggest City in South Dakota---but counting on Sioux Metro for labor—energy---and enthusiasm----

--------------------Tyler-------------------

    Upcoming events you can share about your communities in the days and weeks ahead---

---------------------Tyler------------------

We understand the value of what Sioux Metro has done----and kind of inquiries you get from other communities---
