What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Manassas. The latest 2025 raster shows 427 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 50th percentile among 700 analyzed Virginia localities and the 36th 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 Broadlands, Virginia, 19 miles away with 1,799 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
