Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around College Station. The latest 2025 raster shows 206 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 79th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 31st percentile nationally. Brazos County reports 51,794 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 Clay, Texas, 14 miles away with 210 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 26.9% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
