Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Echo. The latest 2025 raster shows 7,551 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 20th percentile among 916 analyzed Minnesota localities and the 68th percentile nationally. Yellow Medicine County reports 4,786 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 Spicer, Minnesota, 49 miles away with 34,204 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 99.9% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
