Location
The Joe Creek Irrigated Farm is centrally located 26 miles SouthEast of Pierre, SD South of SD Hwy #34, along the Missouri River.
Pierre was founded in 1880 during the Great Dakota Boom. Homesteaders flooded the Dakota Territory to obtain the rich soils of the Dakota plains.
Much of the homesteaders broke out their 160 acre homesteads into rich productive cropland. Life was tough on the prairie, which in turn made the people tough and innovative to keep the homesteads going. South Dakota became a state in 1889, and because of Pierre’s central location it became the home of the State Capital. The city grew to 14,000 people and has continued its strong development of Agriculture and Recreation. The Oahe Dam was built in the 1950’s and has provided world class recreational opportunities for walleye fishing as well as upland game and waterfowl hunting.
Central South Dakota continues to boast and have the reputation of some of the best walleye fishing in the nation and home of the South Dakota pheasant. Think of hunting geese in the morning, pheasants in the afternoon, and catch a stringer of walleye all before sunset. The Ass Kickin Ranch lies along the banks of Lake Sharpe which is downstream from the Oahe Dam. Grain markets in the Hughes County area have developed extensively the last few years providing excellent markets for ag commodities. Markets are located in Pierre, Ft. Pierre, Onida, Harrold and Highmore. A new ethanol plant is being built in Onida, SD and a pulse plant, and bird seed company are operation in Harrold, SD.
