Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Edmonson, but it does not measure how much is specifically Fescue hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 10,111 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 86th percentile among 16,767 analyzed Texas localities and the 73rd percentile nationally. Hale County reports 6,311 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 Earth, Texas, 29 miles away with 19,090 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
