Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Dell City. The latest 2025 raster shows 11,355 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 100th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 76th percentile nationally. Hudspeth County reports 16,235 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 Hagerman, New Mexico, 96 miles away with 24,346 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 26.2% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
