Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Middletown, but it does not measure how much is specifically Mixed Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 3,064 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 57th percentile among 1,935 analyzed Connecticut localities and the 28th 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 Stafford Springs, Connecticut, 34 miles away with 12,482 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 Mixed Grass 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.
