Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Carter Lake. The latest 2025 raster shows 11,381 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 32nd percentile among 1,026 analyzed Iowa localities and the 76th percentile nationally. Pottawattamie County reports 5,014 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 Nickerson, Nebraska, 33 miles away with 21,383 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.
