Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Carlton. The latest 2025 raster shows 9,749 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 21st percentile among 497 analyzed Montana localities and the 73rd percentile nationally. Missoula County reports 5,579 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 Old Agency, Montana, 45 miles away with 34,989 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
