Three days of hearings focused on rural America, in general, and on South Dakota (as the most agrarian of all states), in particular, in an attempt to formulate a blueprint for a national agenda on improving the state of rural America. The first day's sessions addressed the outlook for the South Dakota economy. The second day's sessions considered the topic, "Rural Mainstreet: An American Institution," providing evidence that rural America is not participating fully in the current national economic recovery; the rural population is dwindling and aging; rural income is sagging; agricultural and natural resource industries are in recession; and small communities are losing their economic identity. The third day's session discussed the role of rural economic development as the keystone to the revitalization of rural America and ideas for formulating rural development policies and strategies to strengthen the rural economy. Testimony includes statements from witnesses, prepared statements, letters, and supplemental materials from almost 50 individuals representing manufacturers, local governments, United Sioux Tribes, National Federation of Independent Business, and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.
