South Dakota Farm Bureau (SDFB) is hosting an eight-part webinar series called Pasture to Plate, focusing on the cattle and beef industries and the food supply chain.

"We are excited to bring an opportunity for livestock producers to engage in important conversations that may influence national agriculture policy," says Krystil Smit, SDFB executive director. "Our goal is to provide increased education and awareness so participants will feel confident getting involved in policy conversations with lawmakers at all levels of government."

Participants will have conversations with experts about price discovery, mandatory price reporting, country-of-origin labeling and many other topics.

Presenters scheduled to participate include Mike Pearson with Zaner Group, Jayson Lusk from Purdue University and Glynn Tonsor from Kansas State University.
