A well known businessman who spoke Saturday in Rapid City praised the role of a South Dakota bison ranch in sparking an agricultural revolution.

Yvon Chouinard, founder of the outdoor clothing company Patagonia, participated in a public discussion of environmentalism with Dan O’Brien, founder of Wild Idea Buffalo Company. An audience of about 150 paid attendees crowded into a large tent at Wild Idea’s facility in eastern Rapid City, where afternoon festivities were hosted to celebrate National Bison Day and Wild Idea’s 20th anniversary.
