Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Dodson. The latest 2025 raster shows 2,863 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 97th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 53rd percentile nationally. Collingsworth County reports 9,429 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, 63 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.
