SD Governor, business leaders travel to China

Gov. Dennis Daugaard will lead a group of South Dakota business leaders on a trade mission to China later this month.
 
Daugaard says the goal is to help the companies get a foothold in the Chinese market. The trip is being funded through a federal grant program aimed at increasing the number of small businesses that are exporting and increasing the value of current exports.
 
Representatives of Lloyd's Systems of Rapid City, MASABA of Vermillion, Kolberg-Pioneer of Yankton and Daktronics of Brookings are to be on the trip March 24-29, along with Daugaard and two of his Cabinet members: Economic Development Commissioner Pat Costello and Agriculture Secretary Walt Bones.
