Hay - Hay is dried grass used to feed domestic animals when there is not enough fresh grass or when fresh grass is too rich in some qualities for easy digestion by the animal. The pasture is mowed and the grass allowed to dry in the sun for two or three days. When dry the hay is gathered, possibly into bales (in the U.S., traditionally rectangular ones, though rolled bales or "rolls" have become common in the late 20th-century) by a baler, and put into a stack or under shelter for storage until needed. Do not confuse hay and straw. Straw is used for animal bedding and in nursery operations but has little or no nutritional value. Virginia hay generated $45.6 million in receipts in 2004.
