Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Hallettsville, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 601 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 18th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 56th percentile nationally. Lavaca County reports 68,262 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 Iago, Texas, 60 miles away with 27,019 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 94.3% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
