Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Elk Point. The latest 2025 raster shows 19,439 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 25th percentile among 485 analyzed South Dakota localities and the 86th percentile nationally. Union County reports 3,005 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 Utica, South Dakota, 46 miles away with 56,122 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 15.1% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
