Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Hecla. The latest 2025 raster shows 10,203 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 6th percentile among 485 analyzed South Dakota localities and the 73rd percentile nationally. Brown County reports 18,429 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 Spring Creek Colony, South Dakota, 35 miles away with 33,826 mapped acres. HayQuotes has not yet stored enough recent marketplace observations here to publish supplier liquidity, so quote requests are the check for bale format, freight, timing, and availability.
