Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Bluetown. The latest 2025 raster shows 898 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 89th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 41st percentile nationally. Cameron County reports 9,645 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 La Blanca, Texas, 21 miles away with 1,306 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 99.3% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.

EXACT identifies this hay type directly. FAMILY is broader family or supporting-crop evidence. GENERAL is context only. Public price observations are treated as confidence signals, not mandatory evidence.

Public agricultural records identify Alfalfa Hay in this area. Prices vary by quality, bale format, season, and delivery, so request current supplier quotes for the most relevant pricing.
