Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Riverton. The latest 2025 raster shows 731 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 50th percentile among 215 analyzed Connecticut localities and the 39th percentile nationally. 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 Copake Lake, New York, 32 miles away with 4,723 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
