Overall hay yields this year have been good, but the availability of hay supplies across Texas depends on location and the amount of rainfall received. Some areas have plenty of hay, while other areas have none.
East of U.S. Interstate 35, all the way to San Antonio, and northeast of Interstate 37 to Corpus Christi, the rains have generally been significant throughout the season and supplies are good, reports Southwest Farm Press.
West of I-35, the hay supplies are extremely site specific. Parts of the Edwards Plateau have received some good rains, but other parts of the region have not. Drought continues to plague the Rolling Plains.
Some hay is moving from hay-surplus areas in the eastern parts of the state to the western.
