It’s what cattle and crop producers don’t spend that makes the biggest difference

PIERRE, S.D. — In times like these, it’s what cattle and crop producers don’t spend that makes the biggest difference to their bottom line.
“Because prices are not very good right now, there isn’t a lot a farmer or rancher can do to get more in the market, so they are looking to cut expenses,” Dacotah Bank Agricultural Banker Trevor Samson explained.
Nick Jorgensen agrees. Implementing soil health practices are how the Ideal, SD, cattle and crop producer and his dad, Bryan, cut input costs across their operation.
