Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Walnut Springs. The latest 2025 raster shows 10 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 63rd percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 21st percentile nationally. Bosque County reports 47,253 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 De Leon, Texas, 46 miles away with 219 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 17.1% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
