SD Agricultural Education History

To commemorate the passage of the Smith Hughes Act of 1917, I have decided to write a historical summary of events that have occurred in the South Dakota Agricultural Education program. Over the next 18 months to two years, I plan to submit a series of articles for the American News Farm Form (The Green Sheet) as a means of sharing how the South Dakota program originated and developed over the past 100 years.
