What the local hay data shows
USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Carlisle. The latest 2025 raster shows 3,886 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 17th percentile among 974 analyzed Indiana localities and the 57th percentile nationally. Sullivan County reports 494 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 Seelyville, Indiana, 38 miles away with 5,233 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.
What the evidence says now
The 25-mile mapped alfalfa footprint ranks at the 17th percentile among analyzed Indiana localities.
