Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Mankato. The latest 2025 raster shows 9,109 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 26th percentile among 916 analyzed Minnesota localities and the 71st percentile nationally. Blue Earth County reports 1,559 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 Nerstrand, Minnesota, 47 miles away with 26,406 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
