Local interpretation
What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Bighorn No. 8, but it does not measure how much is specifically Bermudagrass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 16,989 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 18th percentile among 4,190 analyzed Alberta localities and the 35th percentile nationally. Division No. 15, Alberta reports 15,399 acres of reported field crops hay 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 Rimbey, Alberta, 95 miles away with 282,019 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.

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 Bermudagrass 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.
