South Dakota will allocate $5 million to a statewide food distribution organization to purchase and distribute food to food pantries across the state, with a requirement that at least $1.5 million be spent on food from local South Dakota farmers and producers. The Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources must submit annual reports tracking how the money is spent and which organizations receive the food until the grant is fully used.
