Kristi Noem Through the many sacrifices made, our veterans and their families have earned America’s eternal gratitude. Since 1948, the Black Hills National Cemetery has been one way in which this appreciation has been shown, although burial space there is increasingly limited. Tucked in the hills outside Sturgis, around 100 acres has been set aside to serve as a final resting place for some of our state’s most courageous. Included among these heroes is Chief David Beautiful Bald Eagle. Born in a tepee in 1919, Chief Bald Eagle served as a paratrooper during World War II. He – alongside John Bear King and Clarence Eugene Wolf Guts, who are buried in the Black Hills National Cemetery as well – was also a Code Talker. These men were critical to our success in numerous battles during the war, using their native languages to help protect, defend, and secure freedom. Brigadier General Richard E. Ellsworth was also laid to rest at the Black Hills National Cemetery. This is a man who flew 400 combat missions during World War II and earned numerous metals. He returned to the U.S. where he eventually became wing commander of what was then called the Rapid City Air Force Base. While co-piloting a bomber during a simulated combat mission in 1953, his plane encountered bad weather. With limited visibility, the plane struck a hill, killing everyone on board. Later that year, Rapid City Air Force Base would be named in General Ellsworth’s honor. These legacies continue to earn our country’s respect. This is a lesson in patriotism that Sturgis and other nearby 201 W. Cherry, Vermillion, SD • 624-4429 Auctions Land & Property • Antiques • Consignments • Farm • Auto & more... Upcoming Auctions given today’s market conditions, it’s not too early to start working on it. Our top priority must be to make production agriculture more sustainable by keeping farmers and ranchers on their land. We can work toward achieving that goal by enacting policies that could help prices rise above production costs, bolster commodity programs, protect soil health, preserve crop insurance, and simplify and streamline conservation programs. I feel strongly about making sure we get this right, which is why I’ll soon be unveiling multiple farm bill proposals that will address specific portions of most titles of the overall bill – well in advance of any deadline. I think these individual proposals are an important place to start. Once we begin the rollout, I look forward to hearing from South Dakotans about what they think of my proposals and if there are any areas in which we can improve. I’ve written three farm bills during my time in Congress, having served on both the House and Senate Agriculture Committees. Next year’s bill will be my fourth. I know what it takes to get these farm bills across the finish line, and I know the farmers and ranchers who will be affected once we do. After having recently met with former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, who will soon lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture, I’m confident we’ll have a strong partner who also understands these high-stakes times. Our work begins today. Weekly Column: An Eternal Tribute communities have never forgotten. On a brisk day this past December, for instance, Pennington County 4-H, the Sturgis Boy Scouts, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, and members of the surrounding community came together to place 1,000 wreaths on the graves of those laid to rest in the Black Hills National Cemetery – a community coming together around those who sacrificed much to protect it. The cemetery, however, does not have the room required to continue serving veterans and their families unless it is expanded. After working with a number of area veterans and related federal agencies, I again introduced the Black Hills National Cemetery Boundary Expansion Act this year, which would nearly triple the cemetery’s size by transferring federal lands that are currently under the Bureau of Land Management’s jurisdiction to the Department of Veterans Affairs. I was humbled to see the House unanimously pass my legislation earlier this month and I’m hopeful the expansion can soon earn the support of the Senate, where Senators Round and Thune have introduced a companion bill. Enacting this legislation would be an incredible way to show our nation’s eternal gratitude for all our service members and their families have done. One final thing: to all those who have served and to the families who stand beside you, thank you.

Cherry, Broadcaster Press 7 Vermillion, SD Classifieds … A sure bet! Broadcaster My Work On The Next Farm Bill Begins Today By Sen. John Thune Most Americans don’t realize the important role agriculture plays in our daily lives. They can easily hop in their car, drive across town where pre-packaged meat, produce, and other items are waiting for them on the shelves at their local grocery store. Everything is easily accessible, ready to be purchased and brought home to fill refrigerators and pantries. Ask a South Dakotan about agriculture, and you’ll hear an entirely differently story. Farming and ranching make agriculture our state’s top industry. It’s an opportunity to provide for one’s family. It defines a lifestyle. The hard-working farmers, ranchers, and entrepreneurs throughout South Dakota are among the people responsible for making sure there’s food in America’s grocery stores, restaurants, and schools. And they’re proud of it, too. Neither farming nor ranching is an easy way to make a living. There’s plenty of blood, sweat, and tears to prove it. It’s not a nine-to-five, stress-free job either. They’re often up before the sun rises and home after it sets. The dirt literally runs through their hands as next week’s weather forecast weighs heavy on their mind. As if farming and ranching aren’t hard enough during the best of times, today’s record low commodity and livestock prices have made it even more difficult. We’re less than two years away from needing to pass the next farm bill, and The Broadcaster Selling 175 Yearling Bulls & 30 Fall Bulls BW +1.1 WW +62 YW +102 Lot 1 • Reg. #18573491 Koupals B & B Full Metal 6018 Milk +26 Lot 46 • Reg. #18573476 Koupals B & B Ft Knox 6072 Koupal Angus BW WW YW Milk LaVern & Alice Koupal Derek & Kristi Koupal & Sons Phone/Fax: 605-384-5315 LaVern’s Cell: 605-491-1768 Derek’s Cell: 605-491-0244 Derek’s Home: 605-384-4429 lakoupal@cme.coop derek_koupal@hotmail.com +2.1 +50 +111 +28 Ran in large contemporary groups with years of performance data, selecting for functional traits to keep the cow man in business. www.koupalangus.com Koupal’s B & B Angus Bud & Bernie Koupal & Kim Phone/Fax: 605-384-3481 Bud’s Cell: 605-491-2102 Joe & Sara Cell: 605-491-3202 Dan & Aryn: 605-491-1331 bbkoupal@cme.coop BW +2.0 WW +67 YW +115 Milk +24 Lot 75 • Reg. #18607709 Koupals B & B Unanimous 6021 BW +0 WW +64 YW +115 Milk +28 Lot 124 • Reg. #18581024 Koupal Active Duty 657 Herd Sires: • Connealy Full Metal (26 sons sell) • McCumber Trademark 4203 (15 sons sell) • Koupal MVP (8 sons sell) • Koupal Kozi 22 (6 sons sell) • Benoit Final Answer (6 sons sell) • Haynes Gold Rush AI Sires: Koupals B & B Ft Knox 2077 (15 sons sell) • Maher Innovation (13 sons sell) • Koupals B & B Titan 3013 (12 sons sell) • Spickler Titalist (9 sons sell) • Vision Unanimous (8 sons sell) • RB Active Duty 010 (5 sons sell) • Koupal Juneau 797 • BCC Bushwacker • SAV Resource • Connealy Thunder • Baldridge Xpand
