SD foreign ag land ownership discussions continue beyond session

State lawmakers in South Dakota couldn’t agree on a foreign ag land ownership update. The president of South Dakota Farm Bureau says the discussions will continue after the session ends on Monday.

Scott VanderWal, a crop and livestock farmer from Volga, says more time is needed to evaluate the unintended consequences of state regulation and monitor the federal government’s decision on banning certain countries from buying or investing in ag land or businesses.
