This weekend the South Dakota Young Farmer and Rancher Committee is hosting a weekend on the Missouri River. We will be camping below Oahe Dam, one of the largest earthen dams on the planet.
It’s a great chance for young producers to take a short break from the daily grind and bring their families out for some fun on the water. There will be a pontoon boat for us all to enjoy along with plenty of food. After a great day on the river we will be finishing the evening with pitchfork fondue and smores on the campfire.
In Farm Bureau we spend a lot of time working on very serious issues that affect America’s farmers and ranchers and our ability to produce food in this country. But there is another important aspect to this organization, and that is the relationships we build with other people in our profession. It’s that common bond of agriculture that helps us build friendships with people from all over the country. That aspect of our organization needs to be celebrated too, and that is exactly what this weekend will be about for the young farmers and ranchers of South Dakota.
Have a great weekend! I know we will!
