Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around New Deal. The latest 2025 raster shows 230 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 81st percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 32nd percentile nationally. Lubbock County reports 38,032 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 Dora, New Mexico, 87 miles away with 4,343 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 76.4% 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.
