Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Fate, but it does not measure how much is specifically Orchardgrass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 2,086 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 31st percentile among 16,767 analyzed Texas localities and the 22nd percentile nationally. Rockwall County reports 2,194 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 Bristol, Texas, 37 miles away with 8,252 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 4.9% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.

Evidence definitions and data confidence

EXACT identifies this hay type directly. FAMILY is broader family or supporting-crop evidence. GENERAL is context only. Public price observations are treated as confidence signals, not mandatory evidence.

Public agricultural records show relevant hay and forage activity in this area. Local Orchardgrass Hay availability should be confirmed with suppliers. Prices vary by quality, bale format, season, and delivery, so request current supplier quotes for the most relevant pricing.
