Local interpretation
What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies alfalfa and non-alfalfa hay context around Plainfield Village, but it does not measure how much is specifically Grass / Alfalfa Mix hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 11,029 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 92nd percentile among 215 analyzed Connecticut localities and the 50th 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 Monson Center, Massachusetts, 35 miles away with 15,569 mapped acres. HayQuotes has not yet stored enough recent marketplace observations here to publish supplier liquidity, so quote requests are the check for bale format, freight, timing, and availability.

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 Grass / Alfalfa Mix 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.
