Thank you to Andrew Southwick for having me on his BEK News Culture Crossroads show to talk about the attempted land grab happening in South Dakota.

Please, stand united with farmers, ranchers, and landowners, and vote NO on RL21 to safeguard our private property rights and local governance.

It feels like the entire country, on both sides of the aisle, is waiting and holding their breath, uncertain of the outcome and just anxious to know the results so we can get back to living and doing what’s best for our families in this next season.

I had a dear friend and mentor tell me the other day, “No matter the outcome, I don’t place my stock or my life on who is in charge in Washington, D.C. I will charge forward like I always have, building my businesses, raising my kids, and living my life by following Christ.”

It was a poignant statement, one based not on the fear of the present moment, but of confidence in something greater, and a willingness to fight for it, no matter what external threats or challenges may come our way.

Contrary to what proponents of RL21 will tell you, this government grift is greenwashing at best, using your tax dollars, for a land grab.

I shouldn’t be surprised by the final hour attack ads that are coming out from the “Yes On RL21” camp;  yet I’m dumfounded by how they are painting everyday South Dakotans who simply want to protect their private property rights and maintain a voice at a local level.

Proponents of the proposed multi-state carbon pipeline project love to claim it will be a boost for farmers, for landowners, for ethanol plants, for schools and communities. However, the problem is that eminent domain abuse and trampling on local control is a Constitutional crisis playing out right in our rural communities.

Doyle Turner is a retired Iowa farmer, feeder, and banker who is sounding the alarm on this boondoggle and suggesting new and innovative opportunities for corn farmers and ethanol -- no pipeline needed.
