Agriculture Employers in South Dakota

Agricultural employers in South Dakota listed in this directory have public job order records on file through U.S. Department of Agriculture data. The 264 records compiled here cover farm operations across South Dakota that submitted agricultural job orders through federal labor programs. Each employer name links to a profile page with full details — including documented wages, worksite county, season dates, and the number of workers covered by the filing.

Each employer profile in this directory is sourced from USDA public data, which captures details such as the type of agricultural work, the documented wage offer, the expected employment period, and the number of workers covered by each filing. These records are historical — they reflect the details submitted at the time of the job order and do not confirm current job availability or active hiring. Contact individual employers to verify whether positions are available.

Many employers in South Dakota have records associated with the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers program, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor. H-2A certification documents that an employer submitted job orders for temporary agricultural positions and met the program's requirements at the time of filing — including minimum wage standards tied to the Adverse Effect Wage Rate, provisions for employer-provided housing and transportation, and a guaranteed minimum number of work hours. Certification reflects the conditions documented in the filing and does not indicate ongoing program participation.

Agricultural work documented in South Dakota records spans a range of crop and livestock operations. Job orders on file describe positions including harvesting, planting, irrigation, and general farm labor, reflecting the diversity of agricultural activity across the state. Season dates in each record indicate the expected employment period for that filing, though actual work schedules and durations may vary. All employment terms and current availability should be confirmed directly with the employer before making any decisions.
