Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Columbus. The latest 2025 raster shows 13,034 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 40th percentile among 916 analyzed Minnesota localities and the 78th percentile nationally. Anoka County reports 2,123 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 Somerset, Wisconsin, 23 miles away with 34,541 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
