Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies alfalfa and non-alfalfa hay context around Membertou 28B, but it does not measure how much is specifically Grass / Alfalfa Mix hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 7,926 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 23rd percentile among 96 analyzed Nova Scotia localities and the 28th percentile nationally. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia reports 1,798 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 Brackley, Prince Edward Island, 143 miles away with 141,382 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 Grass / Alfalfa Mix 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.
