Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Marlin. The latest 2025 raster shows 6 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 61st percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 20th percentile nationally. Falls County reports 129,740 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 Lake Bryan, Texas, 48 miles away with 204 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
