Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Wichita Falls, but it does not measure how much is specifically Ryegrass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 2,693 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 38th percentile among 16,767 analyzed Texas localities and the 26th percentile nationally. Wichita County reports 31,475 head of 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 Muenster, Texas, 68 miles away with 8,672 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
