Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Mount Sterling. The latest 2025 raster shows 14,558 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 49th percentile among 1,026 analyzed Iowa localities and the 80th percentile nationally. Van Buren County reports 9,024 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 Unionville, Iowa, 42 miles away with 27,436 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.
