What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies sorghum crop context around Stafford, but it does not measure how much is specifically Sorghum-Sudan / Sudan Grass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 12,298 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 58th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 94th percentile nationally. Fort Bend County reports 21,612 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 Iago, Texas, 34 miles away with 27,019 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
What the evidence says now
The 25-mile mapped sorghum crop context footprint ranks at the 58th percentile among analyzed Texas localities.
