Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Ricketts. The latest 2025 raster shows 17,180 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 61st percentile among 1,026 analyzed Iowa localities and the 84th percentile nationally. Crawford County reports 6,194 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 Tekamah, Nebraska, 41 miles away with 20,286 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
