AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

AI & Higher Ed: South Dakota’s Board of Regents greenlit four new AI degree programs—DSU adds a doctoral AI degree, while SDSU launches bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral AI engineering tracks—aimed at workforce and research growth starting this fall. Severe Weather & Power: Straight-line winds topping 90 mph hit the Sioux Empire, with officials reporting widespread tree and fence damage and no tornado; meanwhile, a broader heat wave is pushing power demand and prompting emergency grid steps across a multi-state region. Agriculture Resilience: SDSU Extension is offering free livestock water testing as drought and naturally salty soils raise salt levels that can harm growth and reproduction. Construction & Infrastructure: Major work is underway at Wounded Knee District School on Pine Ridge, funded through the Great American Outdoors Act, plus Sioux Falls road closures and repairs begin this week. Energy Markets: National gas averages rose to $4.09 amid higher crude prices, while extreme heat continues to threaten records and strain grids. Food Safety: Amy’s Organic Lentil Soup is recalled in 27 states, including South Dakota, over a pull-tab manufacturing issue; the FDA classifies it as Class II. Local Business: Baskin-Robbins is returning to Sioux Falls with construction underway for a new shop later this year. Mining Watch: Dakota Gold Corp. reported 2026 drilling at the Richmond Hill project, feeding a pre-feasibility study slated for late 2026. Community Grants: Sioux Valley Energy’s Operation Round Up awarded $25,500 to local groups, including Lake County 4-H.
