Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies alfalfa and non-alfalfa hay context around Tom Bean, but it does not measure how much is specifically Grass / Alfalfa Mix hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 7,364 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 76th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 37th percentile nationally. Grayson County reports 24,594 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 Dodd City, Texas, 24 miles away with 9,914 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 71.6% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
