Check The List: State Treasurer Has $344.6 Million In Unclaimed Funds PIERRE – Santa isn’t the only one keeping a list. State Treasurer Rich Sattgast has $344.6 million in unclaimed property he’s looking to return to the rightful owners and you may be on his list. Unclaimed property refers to accounts in financial institutions, businesses and government agencies that have had no activity for three years or longer. The State of South Dakota acts as the custodian of lost property until it can be returned to the rightful owners. Since July, the Unclaimed Property Division has received $71.7 million in forgotten funds and returned over $7.5 million to claimants. “As a father of three, I understand how important the holidays are for families. A little extra cash can make a big difference, especially this time of year,” said Sattgast. To check for unclaimed property, visit www.sdtreasurer.gov or call the unclaimed property hotline at 1-866-357-2547 to talk with an unclaimed property representative. Farm Bureau Members Donate to Feeding South Dakota HURON – Farm and ranch families who belong to the South Dakota Farm Bureau (SDFB) are paying it forward this holiday season, making a donation of $2,421 to Feeding South Dakota. "Farmers and ranchers are in the food business, and we are dedicated to showing people the positive story of how that food is grown and raised today," said Cindy Foster, who farms with her husband near Fulton, S.D., and serves as Chair of SDFB's Women's Leadership Team. "We also want to help get that food to those who need it most, especially during this Christmas season. Feeding South Dakota is a wonderful organization, and it's our pleasure to help in this way." The donations were collected through a freewill offering during the "Sharing Our Harvest" luncheon, held during the SDFB 98th Annual Meeting. The donations came from individual farmers and ranchers who were in attendance at the meeting, and from County Farm Bureau organizations across the state. The SDFB Women's Leadership Team heads up the organization's efforts to educate people about modern agriculture and to reach out to those in need. In addition to this annual donation to Feeding South Dakota, donations from Farm Bureau members and county Farm Bureaus makes it possible to provide year-round delivery of milk to the refrigerators at both of the Ronald McDonald Houses in Sioux Falls, plus about $1,000 worth of groceries to stock the Sanford house's pantry. Rapid City Regional Hospital is also a recipient of Farm Bureau donations to provide food for families with children receiving medical care. South Dakota Farm Bureau is the state's largest general agriculture organization, representing more than 16,000 farm, ranch and rural families across the state.
