Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Hart. The latest 2025 raster shows 1,359 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 95th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 45th percentile nationally. Castro County reports 13,927 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 Dora, New Mexico, 77 miles away with 4,343 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
