Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Elkton. The latest 2025 raster shows 17,372 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 52nd percentile among 916 analyzed Minnesota localities and the 84th percentile nationally. Mower County reports 3,540 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 Whalan, Minnesota, 39 miles away with 62,139 mapped acres. HayQuotes has not yet stored enough recent marketplace observations here to publish supplier liquidity, so quote requests are the check for bale format, freight, timing, and availability.
