Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA mapping identifies wheat crop context around Holden, but it does not measure how much is specifically Wheat hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 444,104 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 98th percentile among 419 analyzed Alberta localities and the 99th percentile nationally. Division No. 10, Alberta reports 19,240 acres of reported durum wheat 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 Bawlf, Alberta, 24 miles away with 434,062 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.
