Calling it a one stop shop, the South Dakota Corn Growers and the South Dakota Soybean Association will share a booth space at the upcoming Dakotafest farm show.  DaNita Murray is the executive director of the South Dakota Corn Growers Association and explains the reason for the two major commodity organizations to team up at the Dakotafest show.  Murray says grower directors from both organizations will be on hand to visit with farmers and answer questions.  The corn grower official says Dakotafest serves as an excellent opportunity to educate consumers about agriculture, and the origin of their food.  The South Dakota Corn Growers Association have invited USDA FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux to the farm show to listen to farmers and discuss issues of importance to farmers.
