Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around La Mesa, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 76 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 78th percentile among 528 analyzed New Mexico localities and the 31st percentile nationally. 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 Acala, Texas, 72 miles away with 1,559 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 19% 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 Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass 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.
