Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Waller, but it does not measure how much is specifically Orchardgrass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 5,213 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 66th percentile among 16,767 analyzed Texas localities and the 43rd percentile nationally. Waller County reports 27,447 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 Hungerford, Texas, 47 miles away with 13,942 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 34.3% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
