The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service rated South Dakota's pastureland as follows for the week ending Oct. 11, 2026, as a share of acreage:
excellent — 0%
good — 13%
fair — 28%
poor — 31%
very poor — 28%
These are the percentages USDA published. 605Buzz does not add them together, compare them with an earlier week, or characterise them as an improvement or a decline — the rating is the agency's, and what it means for a given operation is not something a public record states.
USDA files this reading under the 2026 marketing year, which is the crop year being grown rather than the calendar year the reading was taken in. The week above is the date USDA states for the reading itself.
