Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Alba, but it does not measure how much is specifically Timothy hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 7,003 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 77th percentile among 16,767 analyzed Texas localities and the 55th percentile nationally. Wood County reports 22,972 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 Tira, Texas, 38 miles away with 10,169 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 46.4% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.

Public agricultural records show relevant hay and forage activity in this area. Local Timothy Hay availability should be confirmed with suppliers. Prices vary by quality, bale format, season, and delivery, so request current supplier quotes for the most relevant pricing.
