Blog—June 16, 2025---10-11—It’s YOUR Agri Business

  Our It’s Your Business and It’s YOUR Agri Business shows leading up to July 1st—boating safety change in South Dakota—has been including in both 9-10 and 10-11 hours—the story on Lake Madison---that almost two years ago claimed the life of a 12 year old girl who fell off into the water and was killed with a Jet Ski—that then left the scene.

   The family shared their concerns---and feelings about losing a daughter particularly with the existing law being far less safe that surrounding states.

    Larry Kotten is helping us schedule the guests—orchestrate the stories---and help not only the family and the community come together but give other businesses a chance to be a part of the family togetherness. 

    Joe Evenson from Kingdom Capital talked with us in this show and will be talking with us a time or two more between now and July 1st. There story is something that Mr. Kotten can share---he knows them-and we will be work to tie together with Kelo-TV on Friday of this week.

    Casey Crabtree joined us in this show as well as the 9:00---and as the lawmaker that helped get the legislation passed changing water safety in South Dakota---he continues to be our go-to-guy-today-tomorrow and beyond.

    We know a lot of the businesses and leaders in Madison-----and there is no doubt---that July 1st will be a date that has to bring change to the wonderful waterways in South Dakota.

    Brent Baloun---Plains Commerce Bank---talked about the planning for the farmers, businesses, and newly married and very worried senior couple that don’t know if they’ll lose their medi-care-medi-caid—not be able to enjoy their final years---and the newly married couples don’t know what to expect—or if they will be a casualty with the jobs they have.

    Plains can help—and we enjoy promoting that they care---and are easy to ask.

    Sarah Heinrich—had the GROWING Harvest Network----Matt Swenson the first look at the weeks growing crops—what is being sold at the market-place—and what to expect today, tomorrow and beyond.

    The show also included the Rock Report with Jessie Fonkert---who with the leadership did some overside traveling and negotiating outside the United States last week. 

     Interesting discussion---- and good to have Rock following along with Jessie—who has been my friend for years.

     Laura Edwards---had the update from the Climatologist Meeting in Kansas City. She and Justin Glisin---her counterpart in Iowa—were at the meeting and she shared what the consensus was –and where she believes weather wise we are headed in the “J” Months of the year.
