Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Castlewood. The latest 2025 raster shows 39,113 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 81st percentile among 485 analyzed South Dakota localities and the 96th percentile nationally. Hamlin County reports 4,606 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 Kranzburg, South Dakota, 13 miles away with 41,410 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
