Dakotafest connecting South Dakota agriculture

What do pigs, corn, grain, fruit, cotton, soybeans, chickens, beef cattle, dairy products, and trees all have in common? They come from farms and ranches. Without dedicated, hard-working farmers and ranchers, we wouldn’t have any of these things.

Events like the upcoming Dakotafest strive to create connections between ag producers and agribusinesses to help producers grow their operations. Niki Jones is the Marketing Director for this year’s Dakotafest in Mitchell.

She’s joined us via Zoom today to tell us more about this year’s event.
