Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Harlingen, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 203,659 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 98th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 100th percentile nationally. Cameron County reports 9,645 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 Combes, Texas, 4.2 miles away with 211,868 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 99.3% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
