Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Limerick, but it does not measure how much is specifically Orchardgrass hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 17,155 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 31st percentile among 5,420 analyzed Ontario localities and the 35th percentile nationally. Hastings, Ontario reports 23,507 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 Peterborough, Ontario, 52 miles away with 252,635 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 Orchardgrass 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.
