WATERTOWN, S.D.–A big turnout at a Watertown Winter Farm show panel discussion Wednesday afternoon on landowner rights.
It comes as some South Dakota landowners fear losing control of their property to eminent domain as Summit Carbon Solutions attempts to build a carbon sequestration pipeline across eastern South Dakota.
Doug Sombke is president of the South Dakota Farmer’s Union, which sponsored the panel discussion…
Sombke says this proposed pipeline project is about money…
Sombke says it’s not just farmers who should be concerned…
Summit’s first attempt to get a permit to build the pipeline in South Dakota was denied by the Public Utilities Commission.
