Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Radford. The latest 2025 raster shows 2,406 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 90th percentile among 700 analyzed Virginia localities and the 51st 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 Allisonia, Virginia, 15 miles away with 2,813 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
