Politician
Oct. 20, 2021
Cattle Contract Library Gains Strong Support From Industry Leaders and Cattle Country
Rep. Dusty Johnson
Oct. 19, 2021
Tweet - "Utilities in South Dakota are already projecting a 50% to 100% increase for the season. Why? 1. Pres. Biden's war on American energy (starting with canceling Keystone XL day one in office) 2. Inflation (which will get even worse if Dems spend TRILLIONS more)"
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 18, 2021
Letter to the Hon. Tom Vilsack, Secretary of the Department of Agriculture - Ernst Calls for Answers from Biden Administration on Delay in Biofuel Assistance
Sen. John Thune, ...
Oct. 15, 2021
Tweet - "Ethanol is vital for American agriculture and affordable energy security, and fuels like E15 reduce emissions to protect South Dakota's #CleanAir. Spoke with folks from Dakota Ethanol about our work to support the ethanol industry and the SD farmers who rely on it."
Sen. John Thune
Oct. 15, 2021
Tweet - "Received an update on the fall harvest from folks at the SD Soybean Processors in Volga and the Madison Farmer's Elevator in Ramona. Their insight on all things agriculture, from shipping and supply chain to biofuels, help guide my policy proposals."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 30, 2021
Tweet - "Just voted against Tracy Stone-Manning's nomination to lead the @BLMNational . I won't support someone with known ties to eco-terrorism and extremist environmental views to oversee our public lands."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 28, 2021
Letter to Richard Flournoy, Acting Administrator of USDA Risk Management Agency - Sen. Cramer Leads North Dakota, South Dakota CODELs in Advocating for Sunflower Producers' Insurance in Letter to USDA
Sen. John Thune, ...
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "Biofuels are a win for consumers & the environment. If these reports are true, the Biden admin should reverse course. Instead of prioritizing electric cars for wealthy elites, they should support an industry powered by hardworking farmers in rural America."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Rounds, Smith Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Promote Tribal Self-Governance for Federal Food Assistance Programs
Sen. Mike Rounds
Sept. 17, 2021
Tweet - "Going once, going twice Had a good discussion at the Herreid Livestock Auction. South Dakota cattle producers raise the best beef in the world. I'm fighting to get them answers on potential market manipulation by the meatpackers. Producers deserve a fair & transparent market."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 15, 2021
Tweet - "Grocery store beef that's labeled "Made in the USA" may actually come from cattle raised in a foreign country like Mexico. This label is dishonest to consumers & unfair to American cattle producers who actually raise U.S. beef. I have a bill to help fix this."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 8, 2021
Tweet - "These stations -- authorized by legislation I led with @SenatorRounds -- will benefit farmers and ranchers by significantly improving drought & precipitation monitoring across SD. Please consider signing up."

Sen. John Thune
Aug. 10, 2021
Tweet - "Our livestock producers have enough on their shoulders without ridiculous regulations written by Washington bureaucrats who've never stepped foot on a farm. I've been fighting against the "cow tax" for years & was glad to see the strong support for our proposal tonight."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 10, 2021
Tweet - "Today is the day. I'll be demanding a vote on my amendment to force Democrats to choose between protecting family-run farms, ranches, and businesses or funding the Dems' reckless tax-and-spending spree on the backs of hardworking Americans."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 10, 2021
Tweet - "Don't know a single multi-billionaire tomato farmer. Family farmers are hardworking Americans who work day in and day out to keep food on our grocery store shelves. They deserve far better than this."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 10, 2021
Tweet - "Dems aren't fooling anyone. They're trying to have it both ways on the double #DeathTax. No sooner did they agree with my proposal to protect family-run farms, ranches, & biz from this onerous tax, they turned around and immediately voted to undermine it. This fight isn't over."
Sen. John Thune
Aug. 8, 2021
Tweet - "My @FoxNews op-ed on how Democrats are planning to pay for part of their reckless tax-and-spending spree with a double death tax on family farms and businesses."
