Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Alton. The latest 2025 raster shows 10,231 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 26th percentile among 1,026 analyzed Iowa localities and the 74th percentile nationally. Sioux County reports 4,043 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 Beresford, South Dakota, 39 miles away with 28,848 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
