Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Hondo, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 34,052 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 81st percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 97th percentile nationally. Medina County reports 21,468 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 D'Hanis, Texas, 6.7 miles away with 37,532 mapped acres. HayQuotes has not yet stored enough recent marketplace observations here to publish supplier liquidity, so quote requests are the check for bale format, freight, timing, and availability.
