South Dakota Focus in February

SDPB’s live public affairs program examines fraud protection for seniors and classifying ag lands. Protecting Yourself from Fraud

SDPB1: Thursday, Feb. 21, 8pm (7 MT)

We talk with folks from South Dakota’s AARP and Attorney General’s office about defending ourselves against scam artists at work in the state. Classifying SD Ag Lands

SDPB1: Thursday, Feb. 28, 8pm (7 MT)

As part of the 2016 SD Legislature’s Agricultural Land Assessment Implementation & Oversight Advisory Task Force, Agribusiness Specialist Dr. Matthew Elliot and his team at SDSU conducted a study on the methodologies and data used in assessing cropland and non-cropland in South Dakota, including the National Resource Conservation Services (NRCS) Land Capability Class. The SDSU group concluded alternative methods and additional data could be used. We’ll explore how these findings may affect land classification in the state.

Host Stephanie Rissler.
