Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Ludlow. The latest 2025 raster shows 4,835 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 32nd percentile among 1,461 analyzed Illinois localities and the 60th percentile nationally. Champaign County reports 2,000 acres of reported alfalfa acreage in 2022, giving HayQuotes regional production context without treating that published geography as live city inventory. No compatible public price benchmark is stored for this market, so the page does not invent pricing. The sourcing graph points to nearby alternatives such as Judyville, Indiana, 38 miles away with 12,326 mapped acres. HayQuotes has not yet stored enough recent marketplace observations here to publish supplier liquidity, so quote requests are the check for bale format, freight, timing, and availability.
