November 14, 2017• Page 6 shop online at www.missourivalleyshopper.com USDA Invests $2.5 Billion In Rural Electric Infrastructure WASHNGTON, Nov. 3, 2017 – Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue recently announced that USDA is investing $2.5 billion in rural electric infrastructure improvements to help create jobs and support economic development in 27 states. “These significant investments will help develop and maintain modern, reliable electric infrastructure that businesses and rural communities need in a 21st Century economy,” Perdue said. “The loans I am announcing today will help utilities and cooperatives build new transmission and distribution lines, upgrade networks and facilities, and better manage the power grid.” The funding will support infrastructure improvements in Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The loans are being provided through USDA Rural Development’s Electric Program, which is the successor to the Rural Electrification Administration. “We are extremely pleased that USDA is making such a major investment in rural development and infrastructure through new loans to America’s electric cooperatives,” said Jim Matheson, CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. “USDA is an important partner helping us illuminate rural America and empower the communities we serve. That partnership is critical to co-ops’ ability to maintain, expand and improve rural electric infrastructure.” In South Dakota, Southeastern Electric Coop Inc. is receiving a $47.2 million USDA loan to build 180 miles, improve 394 miles of line and make other system improvements. The loan includes $521,944 for smart grid projects and West Central Electric Co-op is receiving a $11.9 million USDA loan to build 36 miles, improve 106 miles of line and make other system improvements. The loan includes $48,544 for smart grid projects. Smart grid includes technological enhancements such as metering, substation automation, computer applications, two-way communications and geospatial information systems to help utilities increase the reliability and efficiency of electric power systems. Today’s loans include $127 million for smart grid projects. USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; homeownership; community services such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas.

A few weeks ago, I had one of these opportunities. I attended the TriNational Agricultural Accord meeting in Denver, Colorado with many of my fellow secretaries of agriculture from states across the United States, as well as agriculture secretaries and ministers from Mexico and Canada. This meeting takes place every year, hosted by one of the three North American countries. I believe, this year especially, this conference was an important opportunity for agriculture officials from these countries to meet and discuss the impact trade has among our three countries. International trade among the United States, Mexico and Canada is facilitated by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Originally negotiated in the early 1990s, NAFTA resulted in more opportunities for U.S. farmers and ranchers to sell their products to consumers across the continent. Since NAFTA was signed, U.S. exports to Canada and Mexico have grown from less than $9 billion to $38 billion, a more than four-fold increase. This has meant money in the pockets of U.S. producers—money that they are able to use to support businesses in towns large and small across the country, bolstering the rural economy. Mexico and Canada are our top two trading partners here in South Dakota. Together, consumers in those two countries buy 62 percent of all the products we export to foreign countries. Many of these products are agricultural products such as soybeans, corn, beef and pork. NAFTA is currently being renegotiated by the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Topics open for negotiation include tariffs, which have the potential of making products more expensive if they are not sold in their country of origin, and the rules that allow each country to ensure the products that enter their borders are safe to the plants, animals or people in that country. While I believe that we should always be looking to improve, I also know how beneficial NAFTA has been for producers right here in South Dakota. It is imperative that we have a trade agreement with our two most important trading partners. Equally important though is ensuring that any 2012 Chevy Silverado newly negotiated NAFTA W/T K2500 HD truly be a step forward for 6.0 L, Auto AC, Tilt, Cruise South Dakota agriculture, improving on the many opportunities we currently enjoy under NAFTA. $15,600 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Limited, black, 88k miles, good gas mileage, automatic, nice, $7,200/OBO. 605-660-7383, after 4pm.
