Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Pablo Pena, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 51,364 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 85th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 98th percentile nationally. Starr County reports 50,623 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 Palmhurst, Texas, 22 miles away with 79,121 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
