MITCHELL, S.D. – Today, Governor Noem signed HB 1090 to protect South Dakota agriculture operations from frivolous lawsuits that can delay development and increase costs for producers.
“I’ve always thought that there is something so inherently American about being self-taught and self-starting – about making decisions and solving problems as you go,” said Governor Noem. “My dad always said, ‘We don’t complain about things, we fix them.’ Our South Dakota farmers embody that mindset. They get up every single morning and feed the world. And with this bill, we will preserve their livelihoods so that they can pass it down to their kids and grandkids.”
District 20 Senator Josh Klumb was one of the primary sponsors of the bill. Governor Noem signed the ag preservation bill at C & B Operations in Mitchell.
