A couple possible government initiatives might bring economic development to South Dakota. First, there is possibility of building a four-lane highway from Aberdeen to Mobridge. This obviously would make commerce between the two cities much easier. This would also mean a four-lane highway from Interstate 29 to the Missouri River on US Highway 12.
If one reads this story on the farm bill (which, btw, is going nowhere), one gets this nugget.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., indicated Tuesday that an expanded renewable fuels mandate for gasoline production would be part of the farm bill. A similar provision is included in stalled energy legislation, and supporters want to include the language in the farm bill in case the energy bill doesn't pass.
The amendment, sponsored by Republican Sens. Pete Domenici of New Mexico and John Thune of South Dakota, would require 36 billion gallons of biofuels be blended with gasoline by 2022.
