Hutterites Power South Dakota's Food & Industry | Pierre News

Hutterite colonies power South Dakota’s turkey industry, raising millions of birds annually—each farm housing 15,000 turkeys that grow to 50 pounds before processing. Their poultry output alone hit over 128 million pounds in 2024, generating more than $72 million. Beyond farms, Hutterites thrive at farmers markets with pickled veggies, dairy, and turkey wraps, powered by rotating teams cooking long hours. They’re also expanding into manufacturing—steel and foam insulation factories serving multiple states—proving their vital role in South Dakota’s economy from farm to factory.
