Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Columbus. The latest 2025 raster shows 23,702 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 68th percentile among 593 analyzed Nebraska localities and the 89th percentile nationally. Platte County reports 5,730 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 Pilger, Nebraska, 42 miles away with 40,983 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 62.8% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
