South Dakota Farm Bureau Delegates Gear Up for Policy Debate

The South Dakota Farm Bureau annual meeting will be held in Sioux Falls. “We start Friday with a policy update,” said SDFB Regional Manager Lowell Mesman. “Then we jump right into district caucuses for the seven districts.” Saturday starts with an industry panel featuring former National Pork Board CEO, and current South Dakota Commissioner of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, Bill Even. The resolutions process will also be a meeting highlight. “As long as I’ve been at Farm Bureau, there’s been a discussion on taxes, especially property taxes, so it will be interesting to see where our delegates land on that.”
