Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Orchard. The latest 2025 raster shows 14,016 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 46th percentile among 1,026 analyzed Iowa localities and the 80th percentile nationally. Mitchell County reports 2,854 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 Ridgeway, Iowa, 40 miles away with 41,336 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.
