Ad blitz touts farmers’ credentials, but some not sold

A recent ad campaign touted South Dakota farmers as “the true environmentalists,” but an environmental group says farmers still have some room for improvement.
“The data suggests that some farmers are doing a really fabulous job, but the majority of farmers have a fair piece to go to be able to call themselves the first environmentalists,” said Craig Cox, senior vice president of the Environmental Working Group. “There are really major outstanding conservation and environmental problems that we have not solved yet related to agricultural production.”
