What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Radium Springs. The latest 2025 raster shows 4,082 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 79th percentile among 528 analyzed New Mexico localities and the 58th 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 Mesquite, New Mexico, 25 miles away with 7,386 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 19% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
