South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem proposed legislation a month ago to restrict foreign ownership of agricultural land. The bill was introduced this past week. Outside of that, South Dakota Farmers Union lobbyist Mitch Richter says it has been a relatively quiet session for ag policy. Richter expects there will be fewer bills introduced due to the large number of new legislators. “We typically have 550-to-600 bills, but we’ll be down a little this year.”
