Crop and pasture condition
Each week during the growing season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture rates South Dakota's major crops and pastureland on a five-point scale, as a share of acreage. Each article below is one commodity for one week, with the percentages exactly as USDA published them.
605Buzz does not add these figures together, compare a week with the one before it, or describe a rating as an improvement or a decline. The rating is the agency's; what it means for a given operation is not something a public record states.
97 ratings published across 6 commodities. Ingest run 254 recorded that it read the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service's Quick Stats service in full on Sept. 6, 2026 — every record the source served that run is published here. That describes one fetch on one day. It is not a statement that the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service's Quick Stats service is itself complete, and nothing has been checked since, so a listing added or withdrawn after that run is not reflected above.
