The Dakota Access Pipeline Company is providing a major donation to the South Dakota FFA Foundation as well as support for FFA Foundations in North Dakota, Iowa and Illinois. South Dakota FFA Foundation Executive Director Geri Eide says the $10,000 donation benefits several South Dakota FFA members.

She says the Pipeline’s donation also helps sponsor their recent state convention and assists in many areas for supporting the FFA.

Eide says the Dakota Access Pipeline Company has been very generous in their past support for the South Dakota FFA Foundation coupled with this year’s donation.

Eide says the first donation the South Dakota FFA Foundation received from the Dakota Access Pipeline Company was in 2017 and was $65,000 that benefitted chapters in 13 counties in the state.
