DRA Considering Next Step Following Failure To Stop Ag DENR Merger

3 weeks ago in Agriculture tomr Photo: WNAX Dakota Rural Action, one of the groups that opposed the merger of the South Dakota Department of Agriculture with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources is disappointed with the failure twice by the State Legislature to disapprove that unification. DRA member Stephanie Peterson says they’re now considering what their next steps may be if any. She says they’re worried about how this merger will impact both beginning farmers and ranchers and local and regional food systems. Merger proponents and the Governor both billed the new department as a one stop shop for farmers and ranchers that would save the state about $450,000 by eliminating five positions. Peterson says DRA didn’t see great savings from the merger.

Farmers Union National Convention Speakers Say Market Consolidation Costs Farmers, Ranchers and Consumers

  HURON, S.D. – Impacts of market consolidation on farmers and ranchers was the focus of Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar’s February 26 presentation to producers during the 2021 National Farmers Union Virtual Convention. “Farmers are paying a lot more, but not getting a lot more,” Klobuchar said. She shared that this is largely due to market consolidation – noting just two companies sell 80 percent of all corn seed. And the Chairwoman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights, pointed out increased input costs do not translate to increased profits. “When it comes to selling crops and livestock, farmers and ranchers have ever fewer options as they struggle to get a fair price,” Klobuchar said.
