Hi, I’m Lura Roti, an Agricultural Journalist who enjoys working with the individuals, businesses and organizations who make up the industry of agriculture.

Whether I’m writing features, editing in-depth, technical articles or developing a PR campaign, I’m passionate about the people, science and products that feed our world.

Working in all media platforms: print, digital, radio, TV and social, I enjoy sharing the story of agriculture and rural South Dakota.

“I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds – achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.” – Excerpt from FFA Creed by E.M.
