What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Franklin, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 48 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 18th percentile among 745 analyzed Michigan localities and the 28th percentile nationally. Oakland County reports 1,446 acres of reported other hay acreage 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 Dryden, Michigan, 31 miles away with 517 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 40.7% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
What the evidence says now
The 25-mile mapped sorghum crop context footprint ranks at the 18th percentile among analyzed Michigan localities.
