What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies alfalfa and non-alfalfa hay context around Gold Hill, but it does not measure how much is specifically Grass / Alfalfa Mix hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 9,311 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 50th percentile among 776 analyzed North Carolina localities and the 44th percentile nationally. Rowan County reports 15,398 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 Lilesville, North Carolina, 43 miles away with 13,744 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
What the evidence says now
The 25-mile mapped alfalfa and non-alfalfa hay context footprint ranks at the 50th percentile among analyzed North Carolina localities.
