Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies oats crop context around Drift Pile River 150, but it does not measure how much is specifically Oat hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 51 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 19th percentile among 419 analyzed Alberta localities and the 31st percentile nationally. Division No. 17, Alberta reports 121,618 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 Clyde, Alberta, 120 miles away with 15,549 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.
