He is also an educator of fine art and works with diverse students throughout the state, currently holding the position of art instructor for Oglala Lakota College, where he continues encouragement of art as a critical component of life. “Keith brings a necessary and thoughtful perspective to the South Dakota Arts Council.

We need to see federal guidelines when they are issued and then decide if this commodity is as promising as they say it will be.” In December 2018, then-Congresswoman Noem voted in favor of the 2018 Farm Bill, a small section of which loosened regulations on industrial hemp. The crop is not currently authorized for growth in South Dakota under any state or federal program. The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Governor Noem have discouraged producers from making plans to grow industrial hemp in the 2019 growing season. Get your ad in the.. Classifieds Today!
