Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Cottonwood. The latest 2025 raster shows 21,241 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 30th percentile among 485 analyzed South Dakota localities and the 87th percentile nationally. Jackson County reports 61,240 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 Whitewood, South Dakota, 92 miles away with 46,735 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 55.9% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
