Gov. Kristi Noem declared a state of emergency for South Dakota, due to widespread drought. Her executive order will permit ditch mowing immediately in eastern South Dakota, although such mowing would normally not be allowed until after July 10. Almost 70% of pasture land was rated very poor or poor in South Dakota this past week, as reported by the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. The executive order will remain in effect through Aug. 31.
