Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Driscoll, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 264,342 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 100th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 100th percentile nationally. Nueces County reports 4,246 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 North San Pedro, Texas, 9.9 miles away with 310,172 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 88.7% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
