South Dakota Corn

Commstock Channel's Marlin Bohling interviews Danita Murray, the executive director of the South Dakota Corn Growers Association, to unpack the upcoming vote on RL-21 and its ties to Senate Bill 201. In this discussion, Danita breaks down the bill’s implications for CO2 pipelines, explaining how Senate Bill 201 affects profit-sharing arrangements without changing eminent domain authority. They also cover the regulatory role of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which assesses CO2 pipeline projects similar to other infrastructure. Danita emphasizes the importance of understanding landowners’ rights, which remain unaffected by the bill, and how county-level decisions may impact neighboring counties involved in pipeline projects. As they explore the future scope of this law and its application to new CO2 projects, Marlin and Danita stress the need for civil discourse, especially on issues as divisive as this within the farming community.

I was honored to serve on his staff for several years and look back with pride on how the work he and others put in to support biofuels have positively transformed rural America." - Brian Jennings, American Coalition for Ethanol CEO First elected to the state legislature in 1978, Tim won 16 consecutive primary and general elections to become the longest-serving public official in South Dakota history.
