What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies alfalfa and non-alfalfa hay context around Bellechester, but it does not measure how much is specifically Grass / Alfalfa Mix hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 58,552 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 90th percentile among 916 analyzed Minnesota localities and the 96th percentile nationally. Goodhue County reports 2,238 acres of reported other hay 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 Alma, Wisconsin, 29 miles away with 78,910 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 83.4% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
What the evidence says now
Bellechester ranks among the strongest persistent mapped alfalfa and non-alfalfa hay context footprints in Minnesota.
