AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Mining & Workforce: Trump announced $180M in grants to expand U.S. mining education, with $80M from the Department of Defense going to the South Dakota School of Mines plus partners, aiming to boost the domestic critical-minerals workforce. Agriculture & Land Values: A new USDA-linked analysis says U.S. farmland hit another record in 2026, averaging $4,500/acre, with price growth slowing but still squeezing tenants and new operators. Biotech Meets Farming: SURF researchers are using microbes to convert corn into an enhanced cancer therapy, a potential bridge between South Dakota agriculture and biotech. Rural Water Cybersecurity: Federal and local efforts ramp up after cyberattacks hit water systems in multiple states, including South Dakota, with new proposals to fund security upgrades and assessments. Healthcare Policy: A judge upheld South Dakota’s drug discount/340B law after lawsuits from major pharma, keeping the state’s approach to discounted drugs for rural providers in place. Infrastructure & Roads: Sioux Falls plans a North Weber Ave closure starting Aug. 17 for railroad crossing improvements, with reopening targeted for mid-to-late October.
