RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - Representative Dusty Johnson was at the Black Hills Stock Show Friday to speak with constituents about agricultural issues.
There’s been growing concern among ag producers about the growing cost of maintaining a farm or ranch.
This weekend is the 64th annual Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo in Rapid City. I am looking forward to attending along with over 330,000 others from across the country. I have gone to the Stock Show a dozen times, and it continues to be one of the best ways to hear from ranchers and producers in the state, catch up with old friends, and keep a pulse on South Dakota ag.

Farmers, ranchers, and independent processors from across the country shared their experience and expertise with this Administration. I hope their firsthand account isn't used to score political points – the White House has the opportunity to take what they heard and implement a real fix.
