Abstract
The assessment of agricultural lands in South Dakota must be based on its use-value or productivity in agriculture rather than full market values. Suggestions have been made that the law should include rollback provisions to discourage speculative land purchases and to control urban sprawl. How effective are rollback provisions in achieving these ends? How are farm and nonfarm taxes affected by these provisions? This research bulletin develops a decision making framework for this public affair issue . The purpose is to educate rather than to advocate a particular solution
