Dakotafest showcases the best of South Dakota agriculture. I joined our senators and the South Dakota Farm Bureau to discuss the Farm Bill, conservation programs, agricultural research, and the need to protect American farmland from being purchased by China and other adversaries.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - South Dakota Representative Dusty Johnson wants more transparency in Congress.
Now, he’s pushing to pass the TRUST in Congress Act when lawmakers return to D.C in September.
Johnson said members of Congress should not be buying and selling stock.
He tells us this legislation, which was first introduced in 2023, would ensure they are playing by fair rules. It would require members to put specific investments into a qualified blind trust until 180 days after the end of a lawmaker’s tenure.
