South Dakota s Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR) was officially created on Monday after months of hesitation by farmers, environmentalists and lawmakers alike.
In early August, Gov. Kristi Noem first announced the South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA) and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) would merge to form the new department, citing overlap and needs for streamlining. With this merger, we are fostering sustainable agriculture and conservation of our natural resources, Noem tweeted Monday morning. We want to pass these on to our kids and grandkids.
South Dakota joins just two other states Alaska and Rhode Island in having a combined department for environmental and agricultural needs.

WASHINGTON, DC – National Guard troops on duty in the nation’s capital will soon be getting a different taste in the chow line. Farmers Union Enterprises (FUE) announced it will be donating $50,000 to provide roughly 5,000 soldiers with a nutritious meal from Founding Farmers restaurants, based in the Washington, D.C., area.
“Feeding people is what farmers do,” said Doug Sombke, chairman of FUE, South Dakota Farmers Union president and a fourth-generation farmer. “We appreciate the National Guard protecting our Capitol and democracy. But their service takes them far from their homes and families, so, it’s our hope that a made-from-scratch meal from our farmer-owned restaurants reminds them a bit of their homes and loved ones and shows how much we appreciate their sacrifice.”
