Agriculture has long been an economic driver in South Dakota. It remains our number one industry, with nearly $20 billion in annual economic impact.
More than 115,000 South Dakotans are farming, raising livestock or involved in related segments of production agriculture and its value-added industries such as ethanol plants and manufacturing farm machinery.
Simply put, ag is integral to economic development in South Dakota. The state intends to use our advantages and academic resources to innovate and overcome challenges in order to remain competitive and continue ag industry growth.
Shopping Local Benefits Our Economy
Monday, December 09, 2019
If more Americans made the effort to consciously buy from local businesses it would have a big impact on our economy. That’s because independent businesses return triple the amount of money to local economies as their chain store competitors.
Sure, it’s convenient to buy from online retailers like Amazon. But such mega companies do even less to support local economies (with the exception of using a delivery driver from the area).
That’s why we encourage Redfield residents to patronize local shops during the holiday season and all year round. This supports local entrepreneurs and boosts our local economy by keeping more mone...

Rural Americans face more challenges than their urban peers in accessing quality healthcare. Lack of specialized services in small towns means patients have to travel a long way to get the care they need. This can translate to unnecessary delays in care and diagnoses.
