Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Independence. The latest 2025 raster shows 1,590 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 78th percentile among 700 analyzed Virginia localities and the 47th percentile nationally. Grayson County reports 2,840 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 Max Meadows, Virginia, 26 miles away with 2,820 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
