Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Alta. The latest 2025 raster shows 11,233 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 31st percentile among 1,026 analyzed Iowa localities and the 75th percentile nationally. Buena Vista County reports 1,900 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 Danbury, Iowa, 37 miles away with 18,019 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 0.4% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
