Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Waynesboro. The latest 2025 raster shows 3,292 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 94th percentile among 700 analyzed Virginia localities and the 55th 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 Mount Crawford, Virginia, 20 miles away with 4,691 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
