When a farmer has run out of options trying to protect their sunflower crops, South Dakota legislature allows for one more explosive option: fireworks. The law reads: “Any agricultural producer may purchase and use explosives, pyrotechnics, or fireworks for the protection of sunflower crops from depredating birds.” A specific point in the law states that the fireworks may not be used within 660ft of an “occupied dwelling, church or schoolhouse” without the landowner’s consent.
