Bart Pfankuch
South Dakota dairy producers have undergone a rapid expansion over the past few years to meet the milk needs of the state’s growing cheesemaking industry, bringing a burst of economic prosperity to farm families and farming communities throughout the eastern half of the state.
Milk production in South Dakota rose by 12% from December 2019 to December 2020, and farmers added about 14,000 new dairy cows during that one-year period, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistic Service. The recent jump in dairy cows and milk production continues a trend of expansion that has evolved over the past decade.

SOREL-TRACY, QUE. A new port on the St. Lawrence River that will branch out into seven million square feet of industrial land that is to be developed could well transform the economy of the Sorel-Tracy region over the coming decades. Its main operator sees it in particular as a major export hub for Quebec agrifood products. The dismantling of the former Hydro-Quebec thermal power plant and its emblematic red and white chimneys created the industrial development opportunity. The municipality made sure to recover the land, then to acquire the neighbouring spaces in order to develop a new industrial-port zone called Saint-Laurent giving both access to the river, to the railway line and to Highway 30.
