We understand COVID-19 has made an impact not only how we live in our day-to-day lives, but also in the way we operate our businesses. We acknowledge that impact, but also want to recognize and provide insight on the opportunity it presents for building a stronger future together. This agricultural webinar series offers economic and stimulus updates, provide details on the dairy protection program, and creates discussion on the focus of fiscal longevity. Join the South Dakota Ag Foundation and Central Plains Dairy Foundation, in partnership with SDARL, Farm Credit Services of America, and Maxwell Strategies, this summer to interact in discussion with our highly experienced and educated speakers from all different areas of Ag.
Our first session will be led by John Weber, a Senior Advisor for U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson.

Johnson's work on the House Agriculture Committee where Dusty serves as Ranking Member of the Nutrition and Oversight Subcommittee. John graduated from South Dakota State University receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science. He grew up in animal agriculture, working on his family’s feedlot in Sanborn, M.N.
