Gov. Dennis Daugaard is showing exactly how vital he believes career and technical education will be to South Dakota's future. Wednesday, Daugaard announced 12 recipients of the Governor's Grants for Career and Technical Education, including a grant of $1,240,228 awarded to Mitchell School District. The money locally will go toward renovation of the Mitchell Career and Technical Education Academy (MCTEA) building and its programs, which prepare high school students for specific trades, crafts and careers.
Students studying agriculture at Mitchell Technical Institute will continue to benefit from a county agreement for five more years. Rick Kriese, an ag instructor at MTI, asked the Davison County Commission on Tuesday at the courthouse for a new five-year contract to allow students to continue using county-owned land for educational purposes, a program MTI calls its "land lab."
Sens. John Thune and Tim Johnson showed support for the new farm bill Tuesday, each voting in favor of its passage.

Typically, her Gregory business uses about 500 gallons of propane per month in the winter, costing about $900 to keep temperatures comfortable and equipment working. But the price quoted to her last week -- north of $5 per gallon -- would nearly triple that to $2,550 for the month. "It's running and running and it's not turning off," she said. "We have to keep heating it. We can't close up and walk away for two weeks."
