Factors Affecting Profitability
Is Focus Of Growingon® 2019
OMAHA, Nebraska — Farm Credit
Services of America (FCSAmerica) is
partnering with the South Dakota Corn
Growers Association to host GrowingOn®
meetings across South Dakota as part of
the Association’s commitment to help
producers prepare for the next growing
season. Six meetings will be held between
November 26 and December 4.
GrowingOn 2019 will focus on factors affecting profitability in the current
economic cycle and strategies and tools
producers can use to improve their business results.
Steven Johnson, farm management
specialist with Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach, returns to
GrowingOn with his outlook for the year
ahead. Johnson has looked at five farm
operations served by FCSAmerica to
glean insights into what strategies are
working for producers in the face of
today’s slim margins. One factor that rose
to the front is disciplined pre-harvest
marketing.
Attendees will also hear a global
weather outlook from Eric Snodgrass
of Agrible and a beef and swine outlook
from Jim Robb from the Livestock Marketing Information Center.
While attendance is free, pre-registration is required. Registration details can
be found at GrowingOn.com or by calling
1-800-884-FARM.

Election Wrap Up
And Look Ahead
By Sen. Mike Rounds
As Americans, we
recently participated
in one of our country’s
most sacred traditions:
voting for our state, local
and federal elected officials. Closely coinciding
with Veterans Day, we
also recognize that it is
because of our men and
women in uniform that
we are able to participate
in our election process.
Like so many elections
past, the 2018 election
was filled with seemingly
endless advertisements,
unexpected twists, some
upsets and many long
hours on the campaign
trail for the candidates
and their teams.
In South Dakota, voter
turnout was nearly 10
percentage points higher
this year than our last
midterm election. We
made history by electing
our first female governor,
Kristi Noem. South Dakotans also overwhelmingly voted in Dusty
Johnson to be our next
Congressman. Congratulations to them and to all
the candidates who won
their races this year. I’ve

to continue working with
them to advance South
Dakota priorities and improve the quality of life
for hardworking families.
It takes courage to
run for elected office.

To all candidates who
put their names on the
ballot, no matter what
the outcome, we thank
you. To those who volunteered for campaigns,
worked on campaigns or
supported candidates
throughout the process,
we thank you. And to all
who voted to make their
voice heard, we especially thank you. Our
election process is only
as good as the men and
women who participate
in it.
Campaigns often highlight divisions between
candidates and parties,
for obvious reasons.
With the election now
behind us, it is time to
put our differences aside
and work together on
the most pressing issues
before our country. All
sides of the political
spectrum can agree that
we want to work toward policies that make
us safer, stronger and
more prosperous for the
future.
In the immediate future, Congress must still
complete its work on the
farm bill, which provides
our farmers and ranchers with much-needed
stability and certainty.
We must also work to
finalize trade deals and
open new markets to sell
our products. While we
made significant process this year on getting
our appropriation work
done on time, a number

of appropriations bills
are operating under
a Continuing Resolution until December 7,
thus requiring Congressional action to prevent
a partial shutdown of
government services. Additionally, South Dakota
families continue to be
concerned about rising
health care costs, largely
due to failing Obamacare
policies. Recent discussions about birthright
citizenship and the caravan of Central Americans
headed to the U.S. have
highlighted the need for
comprehensive immigration reform that is
merit-based, prioritizes
border security and
reduces chain migration.
And we are constantly
working to make certain
our military remains the
strongest, most powerful
force in the world. To be
the most successful at
addressing these issues,
it will require all sides to
work in good faith and
with respect for opposing viewpoints. We are
Americans first, and we
must always remember
that what unites us is far
more powerful than the
issues that divide us.
I look forward to welcoming our newly-elected officials in the coming
months and continuing
to work to make South
Dakota and America
even stronger and better
than it is today.
