38-1-42. Establishment of the farm link program. The farm link program is hereby established and shall be administered by the Department of Agriculture and the South Dakota Cooperative Extension Service.

The department may, if practicable, use the resources of the South Dakota ag enterprise program. In administering the Farm Link Program, the department shall attempt to cooperate with similar programs in surrounding states to provide a greater opportunity for matching the interests of entering and retiring farmers and ranchers. The department shall also make available information on farm lending opportunities.
