Local interpretation
What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies pasture / forage around Parry Sound, Unorganized, Centre Part, but it does not measure how much is specifically Alfalfa hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 12,057 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 26th percentile among 5,420 analyzed Ontario localities and the 32nd percentile nationally. Parry Sound, Ontario reports 16,029 acres of reported other hay fodder acreage in 2021, 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 Owen Sound, Ontario, 99 miles away with 229,356 mapped acres. The current drought signal is D0 as of 2026-07-31, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.

Evidence definitions and data confidence
EXACT identifies this hay type directly. FAMILY is broader family or supporting-crop evidence. GENERAL is context only. Public price observations are treated as confidence signals, not mandatory evidence.
Public agricultural records show relevant hay and forage activity in this area. Local Alfalfa 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.
