Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Radar Base. 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. Maverick County reports 5,491 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 La Pryor, Texas, 42 miles away with 128 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
