Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Seadrift, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 18,449 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 73rd percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 96th percentile nationally. Calhoun County reports 8,388 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 North San Pedro, Texas, 72 miles away with 310,172 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
