((((MUSIC---THIS OLE HOUSE))))

(((((YEE-HAH---I’m Bill Zortman and WECLOME to our It’s YOUR Agri Business Show----Show 51-47—in our ORIGINAL It’s YOUR Business Series---))))

   We know that the calendar still reads March 23rd-----and if you are religious----we are still in Lent—with Palm Sunday this weekend and Eastern Sunday to follow.

   Looking back we see that the legislative session is done in Pierre---but I always want to know what people saw with the boys and girls in the legislative trench-us ---and what it means—

   That means we start with Casey Crabtree—who answered his phone this morning---- who can tell us what he has thought about---what he was asked in church---on the street and with athletic events---and just where we are going----

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

    The Governor took the last week on the road far-far-away---so what kind of work will he have for this week------

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

     That race for governor----you can hear any kind of poll you want on who’s winning---is it the old guy—a Congressman who is giving his slot to challenge the Appointed incumbent-----and a farmer or two---still trying to gain traction----

     What issues will decide the race ---in your mind-----

     ------------Casey-----------

   Spending a big issue---- even it the political pandering-----what gives and what should we believe---

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

    Will there be a special session-----or at least serious meetings somewhere around going to the polls—

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

    Casey Crabtree—thanks for helping us before—during and now after the legislative session in 2026----
