Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Springlake. The latest 2025 raster shows 1,952 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 96th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 49th percentile nationally. Lamb County reports 8,383 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 House, New Mexico, 96 miles away with 4,491 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
