AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoElection Watch: South Dakota’s voter-registration deadline is Monday, Oct. 19, at 5 p.m. local time. Early voting is underway, and Sioux Falls demonstrators urged residents to cast ballots ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Public Safety: Sen. Mike Rounds’ Sioux Falls office was evacuated after staff received a suspicious letter; federal authorities are investigating similar mailings sent to lawmakers and election offices nationwide. Pheasant Season: The opener drew hunters from across the country, bringing business to local lodges. But nonresident hunters now outnumber residents, and the state has lost more than 22,000 resident pheasant hunters since 2000—even as hunting generated an estimated $304.5 million in spending last year. Farm Economy: South Dakota cropland values rose 1.3% this year, while average cash rents fell to $160 an acre, a gap that underscores why rising land values alone may not ease farmers’ loan pressures. College Football: No. 1 South Dakota State fell 21-10 to North Dakota, surrendering its top spot in the FCS rankings.
