Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Vale. The latest 2025 raster shows 44,435 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 91st percentile among 485 analyzed South Dakota localities and the 97th percentile nationally. Butte County reports 47,475 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 St. Onge, South Dakota, 17 miles away with 48,805 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 54.1% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
