Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Hedley. The latest 2025 raster shows 2,843 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 97th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 53rd percentile nationally. Donley County reports 13,929 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, 90 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.
