South Dakota Senate vetoes foreign ag land panel

The South Dakota Senate killed a bill requiring panel investigations and the governor’s approval for foreign ag land purchases. South Dakota Farm Bureau President Scott VanderWal says he is glad, because there were issues with the bill.

“The governor was not obligated to follow the reccomendation of the panel. He or she, whoever is governor at the time, could make that decision all alone and not knowing who future governors will be, we were concerned about that.
