Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Reserve. The latest 2025 raster shows 0 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 88th percentile among 484 analyzed Louisiana localities and the 16th percentile nationally. St. John the Baptist Parish reports 10 head of beef cattle 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 Edgard, Louisiana, 3 miles away with 0 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.
