Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Cherokee. The latest 2025 raster shows 4 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 17th percentile among 776 analyzed North Carolina localities and the 19th percentile nationally. Jackson County reports 72 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 Hot Springs, North Carolina, 39 miles away with 349 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 0% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
