Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Carbon. The latest 2025 raster shows 177 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 77th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 30th percentile nationally. Eastland County reports 37,464 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 Stamford, Texas, 70 miles away with 752 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
