Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Speculator, but it does not measure how much is specifically Timothy hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 6 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 2nd percentile among 11,637 analyzed New York localities and the 3rd 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 Port Henry, New York, 55 miles away with 49,138 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
