Truly disappointing - REAP has helped many #ag producers put #solarenergy panels on homes, barns, machine sheds, wells & irrigation equipment. Farmers weren't installing utility solar with #REAP grants canarymedia.com/articles/clean… Dept. of Agriculture

Think of the jobs this could mean for sunny #SouthDakota! From an economic standpoint, why wouldn't we want more #solarenergy?

Last year the ADM #CCS facility leaked 8,000 metric tons of CO2 & now they're starting up again. Will #taxpayers continue to fuel this facility?

Happy to see the Iowa PUC holding public meetings again after a 2-year hiatus #transparency #carbonpipeline #CCS iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/08/20/pip…

Good point - #farmland is disappearing due to development, not because a farmer puts up #solarenergy panels. #REAP projects are not utility-scale - no one is covering fields with panels. Roofs, irrigation systems, range wells - yes thecocklebur.substack.com/p/secretary-of…

We are sad to see these cuts at SDPB SDPB

Data centers consume billions of gallons of water to cool their systems, but some Big Tech companies aren’t transparent about their usage. Tracking consumption is key to adopting regulations and ensuring communities have the water resources they need! theconversation.com/data-centers-c…

Using a variety of seeds, Ike Whiting makes gorgeous crop art! Check out his take on the #FarmAid40 logo, which was designed by Matthew Fleming. If you'll be joining us in Minneapolis on Sept. 20, look out for crop art installations at the venue. (And love these song puns, too!)

We love seeing #SouthDakota leading the way in preserving #ag land through #conservation practices! sdpb.org/business-econo…

THREAD: U.S. farm exports to China fell 39% in the past year as tariffs climbed as high as 145%. China is turning to Brazil instead. What this trade clash means for Midwest farmers: investigatemidwest.org/2025/08/25/tar…

“It was just another broken promise to Native tribes,” Two Bears said. “It’s one of those things where we were promised opportunity and hope in these communities and for these jobs, and that was taken away by a stroke of a pen.” southdakotasearchlight.com/2025/08/27/can… #SolarEnergy #rural

A thousand planned projects lost as well as the jobs Solar for All would have created in Tribal communities southdakotasearchlight.com/2025/08/27/can… #energytwitter #solarenergy

The level of consolidation we're seeing in #agriculture not only impacts farmers & ranchers but also our communities - they're shrinking & aging. So much corporate control is hollowing out the places we call home morningagclips.com/farmers-to-ag-… #rural #midwest
