South Dakota farmers are facing uncertainty as they head into planting season due to the state’s dry winter. With below-average snowfall, concerns are growing about the potential impact on crops in the coming months. Brent Greenway, treasurer of the South Dakota Soybean Association, highlighted the challenges of starting spring with such dry conditions, noting that having a good moisture reserve is ideal for giving crops a strong start.
The South Dakota House Health and Human Services Committee voted on Tuesday to reject a complete repeal of the state’s medical marijuana program, instead approving more targeted changes to patient identification requirements.
South Dakota lawmakers have taken a significant step toward restricting lab-grown meat, with the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee passing two bills targeting the emerging food technology. House Bill 1109, which seeks to ban the sale and production of cell-cultured meat in the state, and House Bill 1118, which prohibits state funds from being used to research or promote lab-grown meat, both advanced with narrow votes. As federal agencies, such as the USDA and FDA, approve cell-cultured chicken products, critics argue that South Dakota is stepping in ahead of potential benefits, while others worry about food safety. This move positions South Dakota alongside states like Florida and Alabama in restricting the future of lab-grown meat products.
