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.
