Description
Livestock numbers, feed prices and land prices in South Dakota have been increasing annually, but the number of acres available for production of feed and forage has not. Cattle numbers have passed the 5.5 million mark for the first time in 40 years. Feed costs have doubled and, in some cases, tripled in the last year or so. Livestock prices have not increased materially and the livestock producer is in the biggest cost-price squeeze that he has experienced in many years.
