Description

South Dakota's greatest natural resource is its grassland. There are 25 million acres of pastures and rangeland in the state. However, a vast majority of the native pastures in eastern counties have been overgrazed so much that the more productive grasses have been eliminated and only the less productive remain. Likewise, 70% of the native rangeland is in only fair or poor condition.
