A Skyline High School student’s love of agriculture brought a tradition back to Pratt, Kids Ag Day, this year. The annual event, usually planned by the Pratt Area Chamber of Commerce Ag Committee’s, was cancelled last year due to COVID-19 and plans for 2021 were not in the works until Cali Newdigger, a Skyline junior got the ball rolling. Newdigger, along with her FFA student advisor Anita DeWeese, and a group of like-minded friends brought the farm to Skyline students on April 12, and plans are in place to do the same for Pratt students on May 12.

The impact of increases in natural gas rates for City of Pratt utility customers was a focus of the Pratt City Commissioners at their February 22 meeting, postponed from their scheduled meeting date of February 16 due to sub-zero weather conditions.
“Pratt citizens, and particularly business owners, are fortunate that the City of Pratt has a robust and diverse energy service profile,” said Commissioner Zach Deeds.
Pratt Electric Superintendent Jamie Huber said that natural gas prices went ridiculous as a result of the artic blast, which has an impact on city electric rates since natural gas is one of the fuels the city power plant uses to generate electricity.
