Four women in our region have been named finalists for the Dakotafest Woman Farmer/Rancher of the Year award. The award honors the hard-working females all across South Dakota who selflessly give their time to growing the crops and raising the livestock needed to feed the world.

The Dakotafest website says Tami Beaudry of Mitchell, Molly Nedved of Yankton, Audra Scheel of Alpena, Amanda Peterson of Fedora, and Tangela Uttecht of Woonsocket are the finalists. The winner will be announced at a recognition ceremony on August 19th at Dakotafest.
