Economics Research Reports
Major findings from a 2007 survey of South Dakota CRP contract holders are presented in this SDSU economics report and are summarized in this section. 2 This CRP survey was the main primary data source to complete the major research objectives of: (1) estimating the number of CRP acres that are likely to revert back to crop production, their location, and estimated crop mix on those acres; and 2) determining the main factors that influence post-CRP land use decisions.

In 2002, cash receipts from crop production in South Dakota totaled $1.76 billion, accounting for 38 % of all receipts of agricultural producers in the state (South Dakota Agricultural Statistics Service, 2003). The three most important crops grown in South Dakota are soybeans, corn, and wheat. In 2001, South Dakota ranked 8th in the production of corn and soybean and 9th in wheat production among the nation's crop producing states (South Dakota Agricultural Statistics Service, 2003). These three crops accounted for 86 % of all cash receipts from marketing crops in the state. Due to the state's reliance on grain …

South Dakota ranks twentieth in the nation in its irrigated acreage. Depending on how "irrigation" is defined, South Dakota has between 450,000 and 500,000 acres of irriqated land. About 375,000 acres has been developed under State-issued permits by private individuals and groups. An additional 66,450 acres comprise the Belle Fourche and Angostura Federal Irrigation Projects, although in any one year not all of this land is necessarily irrigated. About 52,300 acres of "dry draw, spreader" irrigation involves the intermittent backing up of water behind dams in small creeks for occasional irrigations by farmers and ranchers in the West River Region. …

Economics Research Reports
The economics of dryland versus irrigated crop production in two of South Dakota's ·fast-irrigation-growth counties -- Brookings and Turner are examined in this paper. Special attention is given to the economic impacts on the farm economy of rising energy prices and high interest rates. The analysis is in terms of conditions experienced during the 1981 crop year and projected conditions through 1990.

Irrigation development in all of South Dakota has received much attention in the past years. Today several major water development projects are being considered. These projects include both surface and groundwater resources. That some development, whether public or private, will take place seems to be a foregone conclusion. In order for individual crop producers to decide whether to adopt irrigation technology or not requires an evaluation of profit potential with and without irrigation on their land resource. Most potential irrigators have personal records from which to derive dryland enterprise budgets to use in profit projections. Dryland producers with no irrigation …
