Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Busby. The latest 2025 raster shows 13,132 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 33rd percentile among 497 analyzed Montana localities and the 78th percentile nationally. Big Horn County reports 54,178 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 Park City, Montana, 95 miles away with 47,592 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 41.9% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
