The South Dakota State Fair Foundation is excited to announce that Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica) has pledged $100,000 to the ‘Raise The SHED’ fundraising campaign.
The SHED will be the new home for Open Class Sheep at the South Dakota State Fairgrounds in Huron. The SHED will serve as a multi-purpose facility, including a show arena and educational center. The indoor educational center will provide a place for interactive learning about the sheep industry, opportunities in agriculture, and our state’s rich agricultural history.
“Anyone who grew up in agriculture knows the hard work and pride that goes into raising a ribbon-worthy animal and stepping into a show ring,” said Jason Edleman, a senior vice president of business development for FCSAmerica. “We’re proud to contribute to a project that will showcase future producers, positively impact young people, and highlight the state’s agricultural industry.”
FCSAmerica is a customer-owned financial cooperative servicing farmers and ranchers in South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyoming.
