Marathon Pundit: South Dakota governor recruiting Central Valley dairy farmers

Central Valley in 2009

Yesterday, as a snowstorm spanked Washington DC, President Obama was in central California promising insipid help for drought-stricken farmers, which did not include re-diverting water from environmental experiments to food producers.

Of course the president had to restate his blind-faith in man-caused global warming at the event.

California dairy farmers are among those suffering. But a Republican governor from the Plains is suggesting a cure.

From ABC 30 Fresno:

An out-of-state governor was in the Central Valley on Wednesday on a recruiting mission. South Dakota's governor is trying to get California dairymen to set up shop in his state.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard (R-South Dakota) says local dairymen have plenty of room to grow in his state, and there's less regulation than in California.

Daugaard is flying into the Central Valley -- the country's dairy capital. For the third year in a row, Daugaard has his sites set on recruitment.

"South Dakota offers some very good advantages for dairying. Our land is low priced, we have lots of forage," said Daugaard.
