flag Farm equipment tax revenue fell over 20% in 2025 due to lower crop prices, contributing to South Dakota’s first sales tax drop in years.

flag South Dakota’s state economist, Derek Johnson, told the Banking Commission on December 17, 2025, that falling crop prices for soybeans, corn, and wheat have driven a drop in farm equipment sales tax revenue, down over 20% in fiscal year 2025 and 16% year-to-date in 2026. flag This contributed to the state’s third sales tax decline in 30 years, with a 0.6% overall drop in 2025, though collections have since risen over 4% in 2026. flag Johnson noted the first year-over-year increase in farm equipment tax collections in nearly two years. flag Despite agricultural struggles, the labor market remains tight with three job openings per unemployed person, and the housing market has cooled from pandemic highs.
