((((Yee HAH---I’m Bill Zortman and WELCOME to our It’s YOUR Agri Business Show----Show 51-43 in our ORIGINAL It’s YOUR Business Series..

 

 ----We do a business Show—and we do an agri-business Show----both very, very important---not only here in South Dakota but or surrounding states as well-----each month we do a South Dakota Farmers Union show which we did yesterday----and next Tuesday---South Dakota Farm Bureau show------

 

  #1 Industry---gets attention—and it should-----we do ask our friends in Pierre and Washington to join us—to answer questions for our listeners-----

  One of those---who wants to be South Dakota Governor talked to us early this morning—and his is what Dusty Johnson had to say---

 

((((Taped Segment---Dusty Johnson)))))

 

  Meanwhile the current Governor is on the road---no availability to him or the six or seven he has on the trip that we have talked to for years-------should be availability---should be information----but we don’t have it ----

  Governor’s office has promised that he will be talking with us during the campaign---even though he has been one of the few –no answers I get for elected officials here or other neighboring states---

 

   Upcoming---Plains Commerce Bank-----Gary Popke takes what is hitting all of us---dollars available---for so many things we need in the rural area---and just how you save—that is coming next---

10:17/00—KELO Commercials

10:18/30---Ag Business 2

  Nolan Clarke with Plains Commerce visits with us---in this ag segment virtually every show---

 

  On occasions---Gary Popke –Plains Commerce in Sioux Falls—explains what you can be asking your banker---and how you get things answered and planned---financially---

 

  Gary—thanks for joining us---

  The kind of questions you are getting with gas prices running thru the roof in this country and around the world----cost of living not easy for seniors---or even others---

 

   Lets talk kind of questions you can ask---Plains Commerce Bank---

--------------Gary-----------------

 

   I do find banks interesting---they want you to take their special services and when you get done---the only thing special about it was that –the bank found another way to unwrap your money---and needs---in fact—we have found that in our family---with a bank we have used for decades---but they failed to be what we want them to be------somebody who keeps the depositor engaged---not just another walk to get your money---without much training

 

  I’m terribly embarrassed for those who have served us for years---that now have to ask for a $95 fee for a special feel—it doesn’t happen

 

----Plains Commerce---appreciate all you do----
