Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around North Cowichan, but it does not measure how much is specifically Teff hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 18,379 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 79th percentile among 7,530 analyzed British Columbia localities and the 37th percentile nationally. Cowichan Valley, British Columbia reports 10,059 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 Semiahmoo, British Columbia, 43 miles away with 46,362 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 60 0-100 as of 2026-07-31, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.

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 Teff 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.
