Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Rowena, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 37,889 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 81st percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 98th percentile nationally. Runnels County reports 36,974 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 Rule, Texas, 107 miles away with 45,993 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
