Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies alfalfa and non-alfalfa hay context around Middle River, but it does not measure how much is specifically Grass / Alfalfa Mix hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 8,326 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 41st percentile among 536 analyzed Maryland localities and the 41st 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 Delta, Pennsylvania, 27 miles away with 21,369 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 35.9% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
