Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Orleans. The latest 2025 raster shows 5,283 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 5th percentile among 1,026 analyzed Iowa localities and the 62nd percentile nationally. Dickinson County reports 1,419 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 Adrian, Minnesota, 44 miles away with 12,722 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 36.7% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
