The state by road, by map and by town.
This page lists what 605Buzz publishes under this heading and what each desk states it covers — nothing here claims a source was read completely. Each page linked below states its own coverage, and where several desks share a page that statement covers them together; read it there rather than assuming either way.
- Crop conditions
-
USDA's weekly rating of South Dakota crops and pastureland on its five-point scale, as a share of acreage, one article per commodity per week. The commodities rated change through the season. 605Buzz reproduces the five percentages and does not add them together, compare a week with the one before it, or call a rating an improvement or a decline.

- Weather alerts
-
National Weather Service watches, warnings and advisories for South Dakota that the office gave a window of two hours or longer. Short-notice warnings — tornado and severe thunderstorm — are NOT carried: this desk checks once a day and cannot deliver them. Whether an alert is still in effect is computed when you load the page, never stored.

- Road work
-
SDDOT road-work and travel-restriction listings, one article each. Whether a listing is currently underway is computed when you load the page, never stored.
