South Dakota is a state of the north-central United States. The state has three main regions - the eastern prairie; the central Great Plains, which contain the Badlands; and the Black Hills to the west. The Missouri River bisects it from north to south. The French explored the area in the 18th century and sold it to the U.S. as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

South Dakota's economic mainstays have been farming and ranching, which during the banner year of 1991 together contributed $13.2 billion to the economy, enhanced by $436 million in federal subsidies. The livestock industry had taken root before statehood because of insatiable markets that existed in Indian agency jurisdictions, where tribal funds were used to pay market prices for enough livestock to provide about eight pounds of fresh meat per month for more than 20,000 tribal members.
