Dakota City

Idaho Falls, Idaho is tuned in today.

Dakota City, Nebraska.

Portland, Maine.

Downers Grove, Illinois.

Um, one, our main location has always been in South Sioux City.

That's our, that's our kind of our flagship, but we have, uh, one office in Dakota City, uh, and then three, excuse me, four in Sioux City and then one in Dakota Dunes.

You're listening to Grow Siouxland on KSCJ 1360 AM, 94.9 FM.

We're talking this morning with Joel Steenhoven, the president and CEO of Siouxland Federal Credit Union, who is also the new chair of the board of directors for the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce.

You know, the North's been, been kind of weaker here but, you know, as it relates to, that's, that's kind of where a lot of the cattle are and, you know, just from a, uh, uh, the, the standpoint of, of where some of these plant closures have been, right? You've seen, uh, you know, obviously the Lexington, Nebraska plant close, and then you've seen some, some plants over east, uh, kind of close as well.

And, you know, that's gonna kind of shift some of those eastern cattle towards some of those more, more northern, uh, uh, plants over in, you know, like, uh, you know, just, uh, north, uh, or, uh, excuse me, Sioux City, I believe is, is one, or Dakota City.

I can't, uh, so- somewhere over there.

Uh, but it's gonna shift some of those cattle, uh, a little bit further in the north, and so you're gonna kind of see maybe a, a few more, uh, or a little bit more cattle avail- or not cattle availability, but slaughter.

And so, okay, I, th- they, they, you know, they're, they're moving f- further west and south for the most part, uh, in, in what their demand area is.

And Dakota City is not a, that's not a bad facility, so I'm sure that was, there's probably some overlap, uh, from that perspective.

Um, but most of the, most of the cattle feeding is, or most of the, the, the major plants in the United States are west, and we need something that, that does-

Mm-hmm
