The opportunities for animal agriculture was highlighted at the annual North Dakota Livestock Summit. South Dakota Retailers Association Executive Director Nathan Sanderson said the uptick of animal agriculture in South Dakota will migrate to north. “We saw a renaissance of livestock development starting in the early 20-teens. North Dakota has an opportunity to do a similar thing in the decade ahead.” The potential for growth is seen in the I-29 corridor. Despite the eastern portion of North Dakota boasting fertile farmland, Sanderson said the potential in livestock expansion is just as profitable. “In South Dakota, the fertile farmland on the south-eastern side of the state also has a lot of dairy and swine operations. It’s really a value proposition where the nutrients go back on the farm.”
