South Dakotan fills in farm bill blanks at ‘Classic

South Dakota farmer Chet Edinger

Mitchell, South Dakota wheat grower Chet Edinger tells Brownfield Ag News that there are new programs in the newly passed farm bill about which he had questions. “The nice thing about the Commodity Classic is we had [U.S. Ag] Secretary Vilsack here and he talked about implementation of the programs and timeliness and getting the producers educated on the new programs,” said Edinger, stopping momentarily on the trade show floor. “There’s a lot of education that’s going to have be done out there for the farmers to figure out which way they want to go by next fall.” Edinger, who farms with his brother Charlie, is a board member for South Dakota Wheat, Inc. and is also a member of the South Dakota Wheat Commission Board.
