WASHINGTON, D.C. (WNAX) – South Dakota Senator John Thune made a speech on the Senate floor, talking about issues ag producers in the state and region are facing.

Thune says he has been pushing the Trump Administration to complete new trade deals.

Thune says he wants USDA to move on crop insurance and other payments as quickly as possible.

Thune says he hears from producers everyday about the issues on the ground and is relaying them to the Administration.
