^th
Fair
</u>
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Been a great week!!
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
I enjoy getting out and seeing people at the
Sioux Empire Fair—and our annual trip to Minnesota Farm Fest in Redwood
Falls/Morgan/Morton.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Today’s the 7
^th
and 8
^th
shows on location this week—and we’ll do our best to put you in the mood for
a weekend.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Today South Dakota Corn Growers will be
sharing free SWEET CORN beginning at 11. We’ll see more of the same tomorrow.
Lisa Richardson –dear lady that works and leads the South Dakota Corn Growers
will join us in hour 2. One of those Corn Growers will be included at the end
of hour one.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Courtney Drenth and Holly Radar—the ladies
who led us all week with Ag Appreciation Day—the day to day dawn to dusk help
with the Fair events will be back and with us thru the two hours today. Thank
you — what you do with your sponsors, your Board, Scott Wick and volunteers
is 79 this year—but who’s counting.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Jessie Schmidt—BBB — we’ll talk scammers at
9:12—in essence the scammer philosophy mirrors surfers and skiers—“go big or go
home.” These dedicated devils target high level executives – the “big Fish”—and
with that they gain complete top down access to all of a business’s operation.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Jessie will share what steps you need to take
to avoid.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
PGA –the 4
^th
of 4 majors in 2018 –
being played in St. Louis at Bellerive this weekend. Also a week that it was
announced that the LEGEND Jack Nicklaus would be playing 9 hole exhibition in
Sioux Falls as part of the Sanford International in the last part of September.
We’ll see what it means to Dave Austad this morning.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Plus we’ll talk about the tickets they have
on their E 10
^th
location — and oh yes – that Championship Trophy
that will be at Austad’s —and YOU could get your picture taken with it.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
There is the fittings—plenty of golf left to
play the Symetra Ladies who will be here in 3 weeks — and we’ll even ask
about Stephan Curry—the 3 point leader of world champion Golden State Warriors –
playing in his 2
^nd
Web.Com Tour—starts the day one under par with a
chance to make the weekend cut.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
9:32—Ron Nelson—Nelson Commercial Properties
will take us down the road of 2017 being the Lake Loraine year. What about
2018? Ron is ready for this.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
9:45—Eric Fosheim—SD Dept of Ag Development
Division –shares with us projects he’s been working on—including Agropur Cheese
Plant in Lake Norden—tripling its production capacity to more than 9 million
pounds of milk processed daily—and with the expansion –the need for 85,000
new dairy cows in South Dakota. The new Seaboard Triumph Pork Plant in Sioux
City has the capacity to process 20,000 pigs per day and it has given the pork
industry new opportunities. And we’ll talk about the new turkey hatchery slated
to open this fall in Beresford.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
In this same segment we’ll talk with corn
growers about the Sweet Corn Give-away at the Fair that begins at 11 today and

</p>
<p>

We’ll close the hour with Lisa Thormodsgard

</p>
<p>
<strong>

goers.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Darren Hefty—HEFTY AG PHD —gives us a look
at his travels this week. One of the those—to North Carolina where they are
seeing the highest yielding farms in the country. We’ll ask what they are doing
different. Visit as well to BASF and Syngenta—ware they working on—and Gothenburg
Nebraska—the Monsanto Drought Research Center.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Holly Radar—AG Chamber of Commerce leader
—shares an update on Ag Day at the Sioux Empire Fair on Wednesday—what did
she see –how many did they serve—did we thank those in agriculture enough?
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
10:23—Kevin Nyberg—Nyberg Ace—has a party
planned on the 1 year anniversary for their downtown location. It’s called Hot
Classics Night. In addition they celebrate their 60
^th
Anniversary.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>

Riding home in the last quarter hour—we’ll
visit with Colt Clark—who set the stage on fire in January when he was part of
the panel that interviewed Secretary of Agriculture Mike Jaspers, the Mayor
Mike Huether, and even Jim Woster. Colt with one of his rabbits he’ll show
tomorrow will be back on stage—probably with another young exhibitor to talk
about why this farm/fair experience is so big for them.
</strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Last stop Sioux Falls Golf – and a couple of
Golf passes to play. Justin Arlt is generally with us — and we’ll talk about
the opportunity to play —and not have to make it a 5-6 hour round.
