Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Loving. 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. Young County reports 41,200 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 Harrold, Texas, 63 miles away with 6,516 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 80.4% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.

Public agricultural records identify Alfalfa Hay in this area. Prices vary by quality, bale format, season, and delivery, so request current supplier quotes for the most relevant pricing.
