Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Vancouver, but it does not measure how much is specifically Timothy hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 18,673 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 80th percentile among 7,530 analyzed British Columbia localities and the 37th percentile nationally. Greater Vancouver, British Columbia reports 13,676 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 Abbotsford, British Columbia, 40 miles away with 61,818 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 Timothy 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.
