Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies oats crop context around Chester, but it does not measure how much is specifically Oat hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 8,389 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 91st percentile among 1,026 analyzed Iowa localities and the 96th percentile nationally. Howard County reports 382 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 Decorah, Iowa, 32 miles away with 14,323 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.
