The Middle of Everywhere - Connecting Rural South Dakota
The Middle of Everywhere - Connecting Rural South Dakota
About the Show
The wiring of South Dakota farms and ranches between the 1930s and 1960s changed the agriculture industry and rural life almost immeasurably. Road improvements, radio, television, and the Internet had similar impacts. Emerging technologies could make ag business more profitable and rural life more comfortable. The Middle of Everywhere-Connecting Rural South Dakota explores the advances made over the last century and a half that have allowed South Dakota to stay connected to both each other and the beyond our borders.
