Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies oats crop context around Beaver County, but it does not measure how much is specifically Oat hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 12,177 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 97th percentile among 419 analyzed Alberta localities and the 88th percentile nationally. Division No. 10, Alberta reports 120,215 acres of reported oats crop 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 Viking, Alberta, 12 miles away with 13,943 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.
