<strong>
A lot of issues at stake for those in
Agriculture – and we have gathered and will continue to gather and update those

to go.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Tuesday—9-11—We start each of our 4 hours
with Daryl Christenson—Reaves Building. As a vendor with buildings needed
built—Daryl covers the mid-west from the Dakotas and Minnesota to Nebraska
and Iowa.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
He understands that nothing is easy right
now — and cookie cutter is not in the best interests of those he will serve.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Lloyd Reaves—in the 1970’s started the
process—and today Daryl and his team listen and then put together the best
plan.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Pork is enough of a big deal that we bring in
Dr. Bob Thaler—SDSU Swine Specialist and Tri State Neighbor Jim Woster to
discuss the recent announced deal that Minnesota and South Dakota Pork
producers with organization help. In essence the Fremont, Nebraska plant
—Hormel —– needed someone to keep it open. Tough times with trade-tariffs-pricing
–so this was just the start.
</strong>
</p>

<strong>
Dr. Bob and Brother Woster—in 6 minutes talk
all that is pork.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
9:20—the man chosen Mr. Pig a year or so ago—Brad
Greenway—who calls this Mitchell area home—helps talk about the pork business—
what he sees — and what he hears from those he served on the world-wide
stage.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Just before the 9:30 break—we’ll visit with
Sioux Nation Ag Center—in our discussion we’ll talk about how things have
changed when this company started partnering with producers 50 years ago. Today’s
producer has to do more with less just to stay competitive and Sioux Nation is
available to help.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Animal health, swing consulting, cattle
consulting, veterinary services, livestock management and livestock nutrition
just some of the services they provide.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
9:32—Timpe Inc of Sioux Falls—talk their
repair of all makes of semi-trailers—and they are #1 in grain trailer parts
inventory in South Dakota—all name brand parts you can trust.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Our Business and Ag Business friends from
Legacy Law are sharing two forums at Dakota Fest.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
10:00 this morning and 2:30 tomorrow. Bobbi
Thury and Jayna Voss are the co-founders and they will be giving those
listening to us and in person all they can about a new Tax Act and changes in
law for those on the farm. They will highlight the Federal Tax Act—plus the
changes in law that give estates a plan with an edge. They will hold the
sessions in Booth 809E. They join us at 9:38 to talk their plan.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
9:47—South Dakota Acting Secretary of
Agriculture Dustin Oedekovin —also SD State Vet—shares what they are doing to
prepare for the next administration. The budgeting – the planning —all that
goes with it.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
In our 10:00 Hour—after we talk with Daryl
Christenson—in the Reaves Building complex—-you’ll hear from Cain Ellsworth.
Stacey Dykstra and HR’s Julie Noble share how to approach and win the workforce
battle.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
What’s important — how can you attract and
retain the best and brightest.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
10:20—South Dakota Soybeans—-and a
segment with Bob’s Farm Service — all coming together for information those

</p>

<strong>
Scott Varilek—Kooima and Kaemingk Commodities
has the latest numbers.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Rocky Boer—Plains Commerce Bank—talks about
needing a bank like Plains that has been around for a long time since it’s
start in Hoven. Rocky will retire at the end of the year and it gives us a
chance to thank him and his banking army all across the Dakotas.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Rich Larson—Last Chance Auction—shares a
big event coming up this week— and how you can use his services in the little
Red Barn just west of Sioux Falls—South of Tea-Ellis Road.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>

info about Plant Food Starters. N-Rich is made of tech grade materials, highly
refined. In essence unwanted chemicals have been refined out. Their fertilizers
can also be sprayed directly on the foliage of the plant.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
We’ll also visit with Estes Performance
Concaves—it stops rotor loss—usually 3 to 5 bushels per acre. It allows you
to harest more—increase capacity by 35% with no plugging, less broken cobs.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Dakota Fest is in the backyard of Mitchell
Tech—Riley Zoss—Head Admissions will share why there is a resurgence at
Mitchell Tech—and all of the Tech Schools in South Dakota. A national Survey
released by the Wallet Group listed South Dakota Tech Schools and Community
College the best in the nation. Minnesota was 2
<sup>
nd
</sup>
.
</strong>
</p>
