Dakotafest begins its three-day run Tuesday in Mitchell, South Dakota. “At noon on Tuesday, there is a new session called ‘Young Producer Programs and Financing Opportunities’ and it will have panelists from USDA explaining the programs available from FSA and NRCS,” reports Niki Jones, show spokesperson. South Dakota Farm Bureau is also sponsoring a couple of forums, including a policy discussion. “On Wednesday, we’re honored to host our entire congressional delegation for an update from DC, so Senator Thune, Senator Rounds and Representative Johnson will be taking on topics ranging from farm bill to trade,” said Krystil Smit, executive director, SDFB. The latest ag products and technology will also be highlighted in the trade show. RRFN will report from Dakotafest starting Tuesday. For the full schedule of events see the Dakotafest website.
