Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Merrifield. The latest 2025 raster shows 5,840 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 14th percentile among 916 analyzed Minnesota localities and the 63rd percentile nationally. Crow Wing County reports 5,585 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 St. Anthony, Minnesota, 58 miles away with 65,980 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
