'''Grass''' is a naturally-occurring dynamic resource on the player's [[The Farm|farm]]. Many unconfined fields of grass can be found there at the start of the game. Each day, it is likely that existing grass will expand and grow into adjacent unoccupied tiles. And occasionally, grass spawns randomly on any unoccupied tile on the farm. The player can choose to plant a new tile with [[Grass Starter]] also, creating a fully grown patch of new grass. Grass continues to sprout and grow throughout the [[spring]], [[summer]], and [[fall]] seasons. In [[winter]], it goes dormant until the next spring.

Grass can be cut using a scythe, sword, or dagger. If the player has built a [[Silo]], each patch of grass cut with the starter [[Scythe]] has a 50% chance of producing [[Hay]], which is automatically added to the contents of the silo. With a golden scythe, there's a 75% chance, and with an iridium scythe, there's a 100% chance. During winter, hay chances for all scythes are reduced by 67%.<ref name="trydropitems" /> Once all the farm's silos are full, no more hay is produced or stored until there is available room. Cutting grass with a sword or dagger does not produce hay at any time.

It is recommended that enough hay be stored before winter to feed the farm's [[animals]] for the entire 28-day season, since cutting grass in winter produces less hay than in the growing seasons. If cutting grass is not enough, hay can be purchased at [[Marnie's Ranch]] for {{price|50}} each. [[Marnie]] occasionally sends a gift of 30 hay in the mail, at any [[friendship]] level greater than 0 points.
