Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Ridgely. The latest 2025 raster shows 5,786 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 79th percentile among 536 analyzed Maryland localities and the 63rd percentile nationally. Caroline County reports 319 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 Greensboro, Maryland, 4.3 miles away with 5,824 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 5.4% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
