Governor’s Executive Order increases flexibility in hay hauling

Governor Kristi Noem signed Executive Order 2021-13 on Sept. 15, which extends the timeframe that hay haulers may move hay to two hours before sunrise and two hours after sunset. 

As drought conditions continue to negatively impact feed availability for livestock across South Da-kota, this order will increase access to hay for farmers and ranchers. Under statute, hay haulers are typically only allowed to move hay a half-hour before sunrise and a half-hour after sunset.

The order applies to oversize hay haulers who have a permit. These haulers must be properly equipped with warning lights, and they cannot run overweight.
