Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies wheat crop context around Megargel, but it does not measure how much is specifically Wheat hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 158,443 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 97th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 97th percentile nationally. Archer County reports 27,543 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 Grandfield, Oklahoma, 56 miles away with 288,379 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 26.3% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
