DRA Chapters

Moody County Chapter

County is located along the eastern boarder of South Dakota north of Sioux Falls and is home to Flandreau and the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe.

The Moody County Chapter has dealt with several different issues in the past few years focused mainly around concerns of the growing number of confinement animal feeding operations in Moody County.

In 1998 the chapter successfully stopped the citing of a 30,000 head cattle feedlot in their county, which would have negatively impacted the Big Sioux Aquifer and River.

In May and June of 2006, Moody County Chapter members carried referendum petitions against the county decision to remove the drainage ordinance. The residents of the county supported DRA's work, and 75% of voters overturned the decision made by the Commissioners.

Moody County is currently exploring new issues and options for its members.

Chapter Leadership:

Sec/Treasurer – Judy Bothe
