Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Balmorhea. The latest 2025 raster shows 5,296 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 99th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 62nd percentile nationally. Reeves County reports 7,328 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 Hagerman, New Mexico, 151 miles away with 24,346 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 57.1% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
