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

  I’m Bill Zortman and this is our It’s YOUR Agri Business Show----a show created after we started the It’s YOUR Business Show---an ole boss of mine in Texas---chastised a little bit and wanted to know why in the Dakotas I wasn’t doing a daily Agri-Business Show.

  We’ve been doing it ever since---and those in agriculture and affected by agriculture truly appreciate it and tune in to get the latest chapters from across South Dakota and neighboring states.

   We Start with our South Dakota Bird Dog leader Casey Crabtree—who feels the wind---listens to the neighbors and family---and a few politicians and then gives us the updates---he does this very well…

   So Casey—what can you share this morning?
