Dear Editor, Senator Tobin boasts that South Dakota had a budget surplus of $96 million. This seems impressive, until you learn that South Dakota receives over $2 billion dollars in federal money, coming from states that actually pay into the federal government.

There’s important legislation that should be included in the 2023 Farm Bill. It’s called the Opportunities for Fairness in Farming Act, or OFF Act, and it updates and reforms the beef checkoff program, which hasn’t had any meaningful updates for nearly 40 years.

I was recently at the edge of “The Land of the Free” - the southern border. I’ve been to the border before, but this was my first time seeing it from the air.

Hi, readers. I hope you had an enjoyable summer. Just back from Sask. and I will deal with what everyone is talking about: the weather - the new, not normal, unpredictable forecasts which change twice a day, and the extreme events worldwide.
