Day
2—Dakota Fest + Working on Wellness Wednesday





It’s a working on wellness Wednesday—and
we’ll talking about not only health – but all that is important in Agriculture
from Dakota Fest—near Mitchell along I-90.




Daryl Christenson—Reaves Building is our
host in the Northwest Corner in the Reaves Building Complex.




We’ll talk about how what Lloyd Reaves
started in the 1970’s has now reached a complex that attracts 30,000 or so each
August.




The differences with Reaves stand out—and we’ll
have a chance to talk about that —in both hours.




Mike Jaspers—yep – that Former Secretary of
Agriculture will join us — for the first time representing East River
Electric. Our discussion will include an important session with Livestock
Development coming up in November. Why are electrical power leadership live
East River getting proactive about economic development in rural areas. Plus we’ll
get his take on Agriculture today in South Dakota and beyond.




During our two hours— we’ll share
information about Tru Shrimp—they are the new best opportunity for Minnesota
to transition a bit on use for grains that were easily going to other countries
before the tariff wars. Today… Balaton at 4:30 will commission the Balaton Bay
Reef at 4:30 and there will be tours for the public at 5.




Social media sources and others say that
South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard visited the site last Friday—as at the
least an interested leader looking to the future.




In Luverne—construction is at the dirt moving
stage on the Tru Shrimp production facility—which will lead to hundreds of new
jobs. Brittany Loosbrock—works at the Balaton Bay Reef Training and Innovation
Center—and has invited all interested parties to the event today.




David Kolsrud is expected to join us today to
update.




On the medical side—at 9:20—Jodi Pierret—Plastic
Surgery Associates will share concerns about overdoing it in the sun. Summer
too is a good time to lose weight—cool sculpting is good for the weight loss
areas that are a little harder to get off.




9:32—Avera’s Dr, David Basel joins us to
talk west nile concerns




David
Basel – Vice President of Avera Medical Group Clinical Quality (Internal
Medicine and Pediatrics trained).




Among the topics we’ll share —were just
sent…South Dakota is among the 7 States most affected by West Nile Virus—Nebraska
is also on the list. Prevention is the number one goal:




1. What
about West Nile.




a. How
is it contracted?




b. What
are the symptoms?




2. What
can local residents/farmers do to protect themselves?




3. What’s
your general message to folks who are concerned about this?




a. Most
people will only experience mild symptoms and will be ok




b. Only
about 1 in 150 who contract West Nile will experience severe illness




c. Still
– protect yourself as best you can.




This
is important and we always try to share in our Wellness Wednesday’s.




Also in the 9:00 hour—Pfeifers will join
us—Vern Eide Ford in Mitchell as well—




In the 10:00 Hour—Congress Candidate Dusty
Johnson—a Mitchell resident –stops by the booth to talk about the trade,
tariff, ethanol. Kristi Noem’s office indictated she could be a part of our
landscape as well. Her opponent—Billie Sutton will be with us on Friday.




10:17—Laura Edwards our South Dakota State
Climatologist will be in the booth. We’ll check her indicators on an early
harvest—what she sees ahead—-and just how different 2018 is.




Scott Vanderwal—is President of the South
Dakota Farm Bureau—he is in Board Meetings with Farm Bureau Insurance in the
western part of the US. He will be with us—to talk what they are doing this
week—their hopes on waters being dropped out of serious negotiations. Scott
is Vice President of the American Farm Bureau— our hope was to have Scott and
the President of American Farm Bureau join us during the show. Zippy Duval is
on the grounds—but no firm commitment he will join us.




We’ll check Sarah Heinrich—KFGO Fargo on the
half hour—Joe Kooima _- Kooima Kaemingk Commodities—has the numbers.

—and what he expects.




The Starks—Roger and Travis—Howalt McDowell—sponsors
of IGROW.org join us too. They travel the mid-west – listening — learning and
sharing what may make the difference of break, bust, or breaking-through.




Rich Larson—Last Chance Auction—has an
upcoming event—20

th

anniversary — and a band you might know in
his future this week. We’ll stop at the Little Red Barn – just outside of Sioux
Falls.




On standby—John Ball—Mr. Tree in SD. He
will be speaking at Dakota Fest on Thursday. The Emerald Ash Borer has a
deadline ahead.




Lowell Perman—SD Dept of Ag—Inspector from
Feed to Seed out of Huron is also scheduled.




Our stop to the Dakota Fest each year is a
labor of love. We enjoy the Reaves Building—Daryl, Joy and the special family
that meets people in the old fashion way. Both ears plugged in and ideas to
truly help.




Those people that come to the Dakota Fest—want
to just talk things over, looks for tools that will help — and then go back
to their businesses and farms.
