Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Columbia. The latest 2025 raster shows 2 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 52nd percentile among 475 analyzed South Carolina localities and the 18th percentile nationally. Lexington County reports 265 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 Elgin, South Carolina, 45 miles away with 234 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
