Two members of the state's congressional delegation have committed to a forum discussion on biofuels and
other agricultural issues during DakotaFest at Mitchell.

Republican Sen. John Thune and Democratic Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin will be part of an Aug. 19 panel discussion. Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson was invited but has yet to confirm his August schedule.

Other topics for panel discussions during the three-day DakotaFest will be alternative energy and climate changes.
