South Dakota Corn is excited about the new dairy processing facility coming to Brookings, South Dakota. What a great addition to the city, state and ag community. South Dakota State is home to one of two dairy manufacturing education opportunities in the nation and many say it could be the best. What a great opportunity for SDSU students who not only will have a state-of-the-art learning facility, but also a brand new industrial plant to learn and excel on a professional level. This news is not only great for students, but also our dairymen and farmers providing milk and feed to make it all possible. Each dairy cow has an estimated $14,000 ripple effect on the state’s economy. Ag’s overall impact on the state is around $22 billion as it continues to be South Dakota’s number one industry.   Tweet This Post Corn Comments Podcast with Jim Woster.

A lot of people have asked Mr. Woster about the True Environmentalist numbers he has been sharing lately and yes, they are astounding but accurate. IN the next 40 years, farmers will need to produce more food than what was produced in the last 10,000 combined. TODAY’S farmers are growing five times as much corn as we produced in 1930′s and doing so on 29% less land.   A quick reminder, don’t forget to register for GrowingOn Part 2 with planting expert Kevin Kimberley of Kimberley Ag Consulting.

Now that’s a challenge, but we can do it. Thanks to human ingenuity, farmers are producing five times as much corn as they did in the 1930′s using 20% less land along with less water and fertilizer while protecting natural resources.
