Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around High Prairie, but it does not measure how much is specifically Fescue hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 125,445 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 54th percentile among 4,190 analyzed Alberta localities and the 82nd percentile nationally. Division No. 17, Alberta reports 140,498 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 Lac Ste. Anne County, Alberta, 129 miles away with 442,665 mapped acres. HayQuotes has not yet stored enough recent marketplace observations here to publish supplier liquidity, so quote requests are the check for bale format, freight, timing, and availability.

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 Fescue 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.
