Welcome to Corn Comments! I’m Kelsey Geraets, a corn farmer, feedlot manager, and District 2 Director of the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council, a volunteer group of farmers who promote corn marketing in this state, the U.S. and around the globe.
The South Dakota Corn Utilization Council is proud to sponsor the 2026 South Dakota Woman Farmer/Rancher of the Year Award, presented August 20 at Dakotafest in Mitchell.
This award recognizes the dedication, leadership and contributions of women in agriculture across our state. From growing crops and raising livestock to managing daily operations, raising families, serving their communities and pursuing careers beyond the farm gate … women play an essential role in the success of South Dakota agriculture.
Join us at Dakotafest as we honor the passion, resilience and commitment of South Dakota’s women in agriculture.
