Hall says available water sources, and a skilled labor force also make this area attractive for the dairy industry.
Hall talks more about the importance of having a skilled labor force in the region.
he says another plus is South Dakota State University, located at Brookings which has a reputable and strong dairy science program, all of which makes the area favorable to the dairy industry.
