Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Hickory, but it does not measure how much is specifically Fescue hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 10,070 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 58th percentile among 6,984 analyzed North Carolina localities and the 72nd percentile nationally. Catawba County reports 8,524 acres of reported other hay 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 Newton, North Carolina, 7.3 miles away with 11,172 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
