Endangered And Threatened Species In South Dakota, Alan W. Wentz, Cooperative Extension Service

SDSU Extension Special Series

"Rare" end "unusual" plants and animals have always fascinated people. Humans usually assign high values to things that are rare as opposed to things that are common.

Rating South Dakota Soils According To Productivity, D. D. Malo, F. C. Westin

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Since yield predictions for 1,874 South Dakota soil phases were available it was decided to develop a method to rate soils according to their relative crop and grass producing ability. The method developed to rate soils can be adapted for a county, region land resource area, or for an entire state. Range crops under non-irrigated conditions were used to calculate the final soil productivity rating for each soil phase. There are three steps in the procedure used to calculate the final soil productivity rating: 1) determine a comparative crop rating for each soil phase for soils capable of being cropped; …

Irrigating Barley, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Barley is one of the best crops to grow under irrigation. It has the shortest life cycle (time span from sowing of seed to combining of mature grain) of any of the cereal grains. This short time period reduces the chances of crop loss from unfavorable weather and increases the opportunity for double cropping if an early maturing barley variety is grown.

Ranch Management: Handling Drought, D.H. Jibben

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Data on a hypothetical, but typical, ranch in northcentral South Dakota and three different 10-year weather patterns were fed into a computer to find the best profit options a rancher can take during drought. A diversified land use program with small grain and alfalfa combined with a diversified livestock program was more profitable over a 10-year period than a specialized program with pasture and beef production. This was true under all weather conditions. Irrespective of the land use program it was profitable to reduce or eliminate the beef cow herd during periods of drought. There must be favorable price relationships …
