Friday’s speakers include:
10:30 a.m. – Greg Vavra – SDSU – Local Transportation Assistance Program (LTAP)
1:30 p.m. – Joel Foster – Grant County Farm Service – Farm Bill Updates
On Saturday, the annual Farmers Appreciation Breakfast will be served from 8:30 -10:30 a.m. at the Milbank Visitor Center Free tickets are available to all farmers and retired farmers in advance from the Milbank Area Chamber.
The Milbank Area Chamber, sponsor of the Farm and Home Show, also invites everyone to stop by their booth. High school seniors planning to pursue a major in an agricultural-related field are encouraged to pick up an application to win one of three $500 scholarships.
