South Dakota Economy

About half of Alabama

South Dakota has long been an agricultural state, and although it is still an important part of the economy and the culture, farming no longer leads the state in employment. Nonetheless, South Dakota is the second-largest producer of flaxseed and sunflower seed in the nation, and the third largest producer of hay and rye. Corn, soybeans, oats and wheat are the chief cash crops.

About one third of the region west of the Missouri River belongs to Native Americans living on reservations. Most of the remaining area is occupied by large ranches raising cattle and sheep. Meatpacking and food processing are major industries in South Dakota.

Gold is South Dakota’s most important mineral, with the town of Lead in the Black Hills as the United States’ leading gold-mining center. Tourism, particularly around Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills, is also a major source of income.
