South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds, who was also part of a congressional forum at Dakotafest, likes what he sees in the Senate farm bill. “We’ve got mandatory country-of-origin labeling included. We’ve got E15 right now in a very good position. That all adds value.” Meanwhile, Rounds and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar have introduced legislation to create a new voluntary grazing land restoration program that would open up to 20 million new acres for grazing. In a statement, Rounds said the so-called RANCH Act provides enough grazing land to support two-to-four million additional beef cows.
