With a 23-11 vote, the South Dakota Senate rejected a bill dealing with foreign ownership of agricultural land. Governor Kristi Noem proposed this legislation. It would have established a seven-member board to review applications from foreign entities to purchase land in the state. The board would make its recommendations to the governor. Many of the South Dakota farm groups were opposed to the bill, saying it gave too much control to the governor.
