South Dakota's Premier Agricultural Event
Dakota Properties has announced that it will participate in Dakotafest - South Dakota's leading agricultural event. This premier outdoor farm show is held annually on the Schlaffman Farm outside of Mitchell, South Dakota.

Agriculture is changing, and Dakotafest continues to change with the times. CRP, habitat development, and maximizing farm values are a reality in today's world. Another reality is the next generations lost connection with the land and wildlife. This year Dakotafest will be adding an Outdoor Showcase to address these issues and add value to attendees.
