Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Lindale. The latest 2025 raster shows 0 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 53rd percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 16th percentile nationally. Smith County reports 43,997 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 Hideaway, Texas, 2.9 miles away with 0 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 4.3% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
