Local interpretation
What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies oats crop context around Cardston County, but it does not measure how much is specifically Oat hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 693 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 33rd percentile among 419 analyzed Alberta localities and the 49th percentile nationally. Division No. 3, Alberta reports 14,290 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 Airdrie, Alberta, 145 miles away with 3,474 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 Oat 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.
