Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Athens. The latest 2025 raster shows 25,801 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 72nd percentile among 745 analyzed Michigan localities and the 90th percentile nationally. Calhoun County reports 7,628 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 Orland, Indiana, 25 miles away with 35,920 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
