The state Economic Development Office said much of the increase will come from completion of a wind farm that straddles McPherson County in South Dakota and Dickey and McIntosh counties in North Dakota.

Acciona Energy of Spain is erecting 120 turbines in that area. Fifty-nine of them will be in South Dakota.

South Dakota’s largest wind farm is currently located near Highmore.

Another large wind farm is being built in Brookings County and extends into Minnesota, and a wind farm is scheduled to be built next year near Wessington Springs.

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
