South Dakota farmers rank in the top 10 in the nation in the production of more than 15 crops. A recent report from the federal Agriculture Department shows that South Dakota is tops in the production of bison and second in the production of honey, flaxseed, proso millet and sunflowers. The state is in the top 10 in many other major crops including wheat, corn, soybeans and oats. South Dakota Agriculture Secretary Lucas Lentsch says the latest statistics show that the state remains an agricultural powerhouse even without a large population.
