Grey Zabel, 2026 Super Bowl champion and Seattle Seahawks rookie offensive guard, speaks to the crowd at the 2026 South Dakota Governor's Ag Summit on June 25 in Pierre. The Selby native, a fifth-generation farmer, shared parallels between agriculture and football during his address, "Two Fields, One Playbook: What Farming Taught Me About Football."

Grey Zabel didn't come to the Governor's Ag Summit with a PowerPoint. He came with a $100 bill from American Bank and Trust, a challenge for the crowd, and story after story tying a field outside Selby, South Dakota, to a football field in Seattle.
