Summit is an out-of-state, for-profit corporation with foreign investors suing landowners in South Dakota to use their land without their consent. They are using our laws and our courts against our own people. This should not be allowed in a free state. This is not freedom.
Summit has initiated more than 80 lawsuits against landowners in Beadle, Brown, Codington, Edmunds, Hand, Kingsbury, Lake, McPherson and Spink counties, court records show. The majority of the pending cases were brought on April 24.
