Genesis Farms has had one medical cannabis cultivation license deactivated in South Dakota as of August 6, according to the state license roster. However, the operator maintains four other active cultivation licenses across Aberdeen, Brookings, Huron, Mitchell, and Pierre, suggesting a partial rather than full operational wind-down.

The closure comes amid a broader day of license inactivations in South Dakota's medical market—at least twelve operators lost active status on the same date, per state records. South Dakota's medical program currently supports 52 open retail locations, 30 cultivation sites, 14 manufacturers, and one testing lab.

The reason for Genesis Farms' single-license deactivation is not specified in available records. The persistence of its other four licenses suggests the company remains operational, though the scale or focus of cultivation may have shifted.
