SD Oilseeds Council elects officers

PIERRE, S.D. (AP)--The South Dakota Oilseeds Council has elected Brad Bonhorst of Fort Pierre as chairman and Tom Young of Onida as vice chairman for the next year.

Bonhorst raises corn, wheat, sunflowers and cattle on his farm east of Pierre. Young grows wheat and sunflowers, and he will also be president of the National Sunflower Association next year.

Bonhorst and Young will represent South Dakota on the National Sunflower Board.

The Oilseeds Council supports research and market development for South Dakota sunflowers and other oilseeds such as safflowers and canola.

Rick Vallery, the council's executive director, says South Dakota is the nation's second-largest sunflower producer.
