Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies oats crop context around Fosston, but it does not measure how much is specifically Oat hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 61,850 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 95th percentile among 983 analyzed Saskatchewan localities and the 99th percentile nationally. Division No. 14, Saskatchewan reports 286,923 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 Star City, Saskatchewan, 51 miles away with 124,081 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.
