Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Platte Colony. The latest 2025 raster shows 31,065 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 61st percentile among 485 analyzed South Dakota localities and the 93rd percentile nationally. Charles Mix County reports 25,183 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 Colome, South Dakota, 33 miles away with 59,682 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 57.9% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
