Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies barley crop context around Welcome, but it does not measure how much is specifically Barley hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 0 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 100th percentile among 484 analyzed Louisiana localities and the 38th percentile nationally. St. James Parish reports 697 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 St. James, Louisiana, 2.6 miles away with 0 mapped acres. HayQuotes has not yet stored enough recent marketplace observations here to publish supplier liquidity, so quote requests are the check for bale format, freight, timing, and availability.
