Blog-October 9, 2024—10-11—It’s YOUR Agri Business—show 46-17
  Our Agri Business show on this day---did cover a lot of topics that people are talking about in South Dakota and yes neighboring states.
  Holly Radar ---yes an old friend---with the help of Alexis Maylin---officially introduced us into the 2025 Area Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce year. Scott Lawrence has ended his year as President or is it Chair of the Chamber---and Myles or is it Miles Beacom is in the big chair already effective October 1st.
   The official swear in is Tuesday next week---and we’ll work with the leaders in their 104th year. Today we got to understand the changeover—and who can get go up the 5 chairs.
    We did give away our first  of Country Apple Orchard Fall Festival tickets—something we’ll continue to do thru the rest of October. You might just be a winner.
    Bryson Patterson---SBA of South Dakota—talked us thru his trip to Mitchell in Manufacturing Week on Tuesday----Bryson is a regular in the show—helping industry, agriculture---and those individuals that need help for their areas of business or employment. 
    Brent Baloun---Plains Commerce Bank—talked about the PLANNING they are doing---whether it be business, agriculture, or as married couples. It also started for Plains in Hoven, South Dakota—and has a little less than a dozen stopping points around the State. Planning is what they do---in addition to answering the questions.
    Sarah Heinrich—KFGO Fargo—had the growing harvest report---something she does in our show—and across our Sioux Falls field of stations each day.
   Geri Eide---FFA of South Dakota visited with Jimmy Burma-Sunshine Bible Academy about the scholarships that were dolled out---all to encourage and reward students accomplishments in the field of range management. Scholarships are made possible by contributions to the SD FFA Foundation from LeRoy and Cathie Draine of Rapid City. Those scholarships represent a good combination of three important beliefs—1st—respect for the integrity of the land, our soils and water; second—the imperative to provide educational opportunities for understanding and knowledgeable custodians for the future. 
     We talked to two sides of the voting questions in this show—Casey Crabtree---shared the issues---from the legislative prospective----while Mitch Richter---SDFU asked questions those with the oldest farm organization want answered. We’ll talk more with Mitch Friday and as we approach November 5th. Others on the short list opposed to the state’s approach will get their questions that do disagree with lawmakers—generally the leadership---it’s our promise to the people of South Dakota to ask the questions and make sure both sides understand what they have and what it would mean if one of the issues passes.
     There are 7 issues on the ballots.
      John Ball---Mr. Tree to us in South Dakota and more and more states around the country that want to know the best way and best trees to utilize in our state. 
       As you listen to SDSU’s Mr. Tree—you learn quickly that he isn’t one that favors the ever-popular maple. We are talking about that—and today we got into a discussion about the angry insects from the flies to the lady bugs that see winter coming and their own demise. Even killing angry flies in the house with a small towel and utilizing hair spray—part of the remedy.
   Our It’s YOUR Agri Business Show---covers as much ground as possible—and with It’s YOUR Business---we are sharing questions and answers from those opposed to what was approved for the ballot---as well as the defenses leaders have.
   It’s YOUR Agri Business—realizes the value of agriculture in this state. We seek out as much support as we can with beans and corn----lawmakers---government employed—and the next generation.
   Farm organizations still don’t have a farm bill those the November 5th election is not that far away. We understand it is the #1 industry in South Dakota—and look to help those with the farm lot in life they are taking.
   Listen live to the show at 1320, 105.1, 107.9, use the KELO App—streaming on line or just ask Alexa. Norm Anderson will post the show as a podcast---and my job is to share this blog with topics we covered—during the hour. Look for the October 9, 2024—10-11 Show. Questions for me—feel free to call/text at 605-728-BILL.
