CERTIFIED
HAY REQUIREMENTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Follow this link to find information about weed free forage.
It applies to the Black Hills National Forest, Buffalo Gap National
Grassland and Ft. Pierre National Grassland (all are administered by the
Forest Service and all are in South Dakota). http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/news/weed_free_order/index.shtml
Certified hay is NOT a
requirement if you are camping on private property or in a private horse
camp facility unless stipulated by the owner.
Also, Badlands National Park requires weed free forage. This is a
great link to find out trail riding information pertaining to this
area. http://www.nps.gov/badl/brochures/horse.pdf
The South Dakota State Department of Agriculture has a website that
describes the weed free forage certification process http://www.state.sd.us/doa/das/wff.html
Update - West River Cert Hay Supplies
Uncertain
As The Drought Continues
If you are planning to camp in a state or federally managed
campground—or a dispersed site somewhere in the BHNF, be certain you
have a supply of certified hay with you. If you are from out of
state, be sure to check with your hay supplier that his product meets
SD, WY,MT hay standards or you won’t be permitted to use it.
A number of private horse camp vendors require certified hay and they
may have a good supply on hand at a reasonable price which takes one
less item off your shopping list. Weed free forage producers may have
sold out their certified product so early bird trail riders coming into
western SD are advised to make arrangements for hay before coming.
Local feed and seed businesses most likely to have certified hay
continually available are:
Zip Feed & Poultry @ 3782 E Hwy
44 or Call 605.393.2211
Hy-Way Hardware & Bldg Cntr
On Hwy 385 in Hill City
Call 605.574.2035
SD 2005 WEED FREE FORAGE PRODUCERS
Call ahead to ensure producer has hay available.
