The average yield for tame hay in Canada for 2024 is forecasted at 3.68 thousand kilograms per hectare. This slightly decreases each year to 3.65 by 2028. In 2023, the actual yield was consistent, helping to benchmark these slight reductions from 2024 onwards. The year-on-year variation shows a minimal decline, indicative of a stable to slightly contracting yield trend. The 5-year CAGR is expected to reflect a minor negative growth rate.

Future trends to watch include:

Impact of climate change and weather conditions on hay yields.
Advancements in agricultural technology and practices that may enhance productivity.
Market demand changes driven by livestock production needs.
