The South Dakota Chapter enhances the success of rural property professionals by providing education and promoting ethical and professional standards. The Chapter promotes the professions of farm management, agricultural consulting, and rural appraisal by holding meetings for the exchange of ideas, conducting education, and holding its members to a Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Practice.
The Chapter encourages members to volunteer and participate in chapter activities including attending breakfast meetings, social activities, and taking advantage of educational opportunities. To support members in their pursuit of quality education, the chapter has established the Kjerstad Member Scholarship which helps defray the costs of attendance at ASFMRA meetings and the achievement of accreditation.
