Join us for the Education and Agriculture Conference on June 11-12, 2024.
The second annual South Dakota Education and Agriculture Conference will bring together our state's brightest, most innovative teachers and agricultural leaders, and we want to make sure your voice is at the table. Join us for two engaging, interactive days as we explore ways to creatively connect agriculture to education standards in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms. Together, education and agriculture can invest in a brighter future.
