What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Picacho Hills. The latest 2025 raster shows 5,545 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 83rd percentile among 528 analyzed New Mexico localities and the 63rd 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 San Miguel, New Mexico, 14 miles away with 7,384 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 19% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
