The Washington Times
South Dakota farmers and ranchers feed and fuel the world, and consumers and businesses look to them for in-demand agricultural goods. In 2020, the state exported approximately $284 million in pork products, $279 million in beef products, and $102 million in dairy products to markets across the world. A fair, reliable, and competitive export market is essential for South Dakota producers to sustain and expand their businesses.
