Local interpretation
What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies pasture / forage around Saint-Norbert-d'Arthabaska, but it does not measure how much is specifically Alfalfa hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 158,836 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 95th percentile among 12,240 analyzed Quebec localities and the 91st percentile nationally. Arthabaska, Quebec reports 16,960 acres of reported alfalfa 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 Saint-Sylvestre, Quebec, 34 miles away with 201,977 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 40 0-100 as of 2026-07-31, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
