Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) highlighted legislative efforts to cut federal spending and to preserve services for her constituents on Friday in her weekly column. Noem cited the Farm Bill, which “heavily impacts” South Dakota’s largest industry, and said it benefits consumers and agricultural producers alike. “The 2014 Farm Bill, which I helped negotiate, cut $20 billion by making programs more accountable and efficient,” Noem said. “Meanwhile, the bill includes a safety net for producers that I’m hopeful will help stabilize prices at the grocery store long term. It also reestablished a meaningful livestock disaster program, increased pine beetle mitigation efforts and continued support for ag research at places like (South Dakota State University). Noem also outlined efforts to finalize a new fund to support the Lewis & Clark Rural Water System program, which brings clean water to rural areas in South Dakota and elsewhere in the country. “While local communities have paid their fair share for the project, the federal government has fallen through on its promises,” Noem said. “Last year, I helped establish a new fund to get around the president’s chronic underfunding of the program. I made cuts elsewhere to ensure the numbers still worked and the new fund helped secure a total of $8.4 million for the project in (fiscal year) 2014. This year, we were able to boost that new fund even more in the House. Again, it was done without increasing overall spending.” Noem also worked to combat human trafficking, to improve healthcare for veterans and to bring more accountability the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers over the last year. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
