| Welcome to Ag United. We
are farmers, ranchers and other members of rural communities
across South Dakota who believe in growing agriculture---the
number one industry in our state. Our mission is very
simple -- Promoting and advancing farm & ranch
families and rural communities in South Dakota.
Ag United is pleased to announce the release of the DVD Growth. Cooperation. Community. A Story of Change. The DVD provides information to South Dakota farmers and ranchers who are considering a new or expanding livestock farm. The DVD is also available to those who do not live on a farm or ranch, but would like to know more about production agriculture in South Dakota. To request you copy of the DVD, click here. Do you know the economic impact agriculture has on your local community? To compare livestock production in your county to other counties across the state, check out The Importance
of Agriculture in South Dakota.

14, 2007 - Last month I had the opportunity to attend a feedlot seminar entitled “Cattle Farming Matters,” held at cattle farms in Northwest Iowa. The feedlot tour and seminar was sponsored by the Iowa Beef Industry Council, The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers, Iowa Beef Center, and Iowa State University Extension. More than 125 producers from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota participated in the tour.
