Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Canadian. The latest 2025 raster shows 868 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 89th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 41st percentile nationally. Hemphill County reports 10,741 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 Burns Flat, Oklahoma, 78 miles away with 17,210 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.

Evidence definitions and data confidence

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.
