It's Your Business

October 27, 2026 10AM - SD Farm Bureau Town & Country Show

October 27, 2026---9-10---It’s YOUR Business---Show 53-79

(((From the Blackburn Studios in Downtown Sioux Falls—Welcome to It’s YOUR Business)))

 

(((MUSIC---THIS OLE HOUSE-----YEE HAH)))

   I’m Bill Zortman and Welcome to our It’s YOUR Business Show---in this my retirement week---we will cover a lot of territory and events---in this 9-10 hour---before we give away to South Dakota Farm Bureau at 10---for their monthly show.

 

    This it is my last week here after a long-long stay at 13th and Phillips with plenty of discussions----a business show first---and then about 9 years ago---the company added officially an Agri Business show.

 

     The company came to me after I celebrated my 80th birthday----a month ago today---and shared that we would need to pick a date for me to go and enjoy my wife—my family and all that I have done as a broadcaster---here in Sioux Falls----with other stops in Sioux City, Iowa, Clovis, New Mexico, Amarillo, El Paso, and Midland Texas, Montgomery and Selma, Alabama, and Knoxville, Tennessee.

 

      But Carolyn and I have stayed here the longest----living in nearby Hartford---and working at three stops here in Sioux Falls thru the years.

 

      We will be taking some time to enjoy the start of the rest of our lives---and do some traveling to visit relatives—here-there and everywhere—but we will miss all the people we have worked with here----and the opportunity to talk to you a solid—mid-west audience.

 

       We start with Casey Crabtree this morning----who has quite the event coming up this morning-----

 

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

 

        What else should we know on bit of a challenging Tuesday---

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

        Thanks for keeping us plugged in with 9-10 and often the 10-11 shows we have done-----

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

        What can you tell us for the rest of this week that Saturday closes October-----

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

    Thanks for being there---and even getting hair combed up for all those television appearances……

 

When we come back---we’ve told you about it before---but we’ll do it one more time------those outdoors men and women will want to know what to expect---- with quite the event----
