Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Dayton Lakes, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 1,883 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 25th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 74th percentile nationally. Liberty County reports 41,968 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 Webster, Texas, 46 miles away with 6,421 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 86% 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.
