Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Tira. The latest 2025 raster shows 1 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 57th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 17th percentile nationally. Hopkins County reports 42,966 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 Albany, Oklahoma, 52 miles away with 1,144 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 0.6% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
