Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies clover / wildflower crop class around Staunton, but it does not measure how much is specifically Clover hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 0 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 55th percentile among 700 analyzed Virginia localities and the 46th 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 Warm Springs, Virginia, 40 miles away with 2 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.

Evidence definitions and data confidence

EXACT identifies this hay type directly. FAMILY is broader family or supporting-crop evidence. GENERAL is context only. Public price observations are treated as confidence signals, not mandatory evidence.

Public agricultural records show relevant hay and forage activity in this area. Local Clover Hay availability should be confirmed with suppliers. Prices vary by quality, bale format, season, and delivery, so request current supplier quotes for the most relevant pricing.
