Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Agua Dulce. The latest 2025 raster shows 3,021 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 97th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 54th percentile nationally. El Paso County reports 5,163 head of 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 Dell City, Texas, 58 miles away with 11,355 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 66.1% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
