Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Alvarado. The latest 2025 raster shows 2 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 58th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 18th percentile nationally. Johnson County reports 22,674 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 Southlake, Texas, 38 miles away with 156 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
