According to a recent study, direct spending on hunting and fishing in South Dakota between October 2015 and October 2016 was more than $954 million. By comparison, the total value of South Dakota’s famed wheat crop as estimated by the USDA was about $440 million.

That’s more than double the food grain total.

Fishing accounted for a little more than $271 million in direct spending in the state, while South Dakota hunters spent nearly $683.
