What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Bowleys Quarters. The latest 2025 raster shows 2,495 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 61st percentile among 536 analyzed Maryland localities and the 52nd percentile nationally. No compatible public price benchmark is stored for this market, so the page does not invent pricing.
