Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Ryegate. The latest 2025 raster shows 39,049 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 83rd percentile among 497 analyzed Montana localities and the 96th percentile nationally. Golden Valley County reports 17,083 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 King Ranch Colony, Montana, 56 miles away with 113,024 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 85.8% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
