add haymaker enchantment information, rearranged sentences (apologies for my broken grammar :(
Hay stored in the silo is accessible through the [[Hay Hopper|hay hoppers]] located inside [[Coop]]s and [[Barn]]s to be used for feeding their respective animals. The distance between the silo and the animal buildings does not affect the operation of the [[Hay Hopper|hay hoppers]].

Hay can be added to the silo in a number of ways:
[[Hay]] can be added to the silo in a number of ways:
* When [[The Player]] cuts [[grass]] on their farm with the [[scythe]], there is a 50% chance that 1 hay is added to the silo (75% if cut with the [[Golden Scythe]]).
* When [[The Player]] cuts [[grass]] on their farm with the [[scythe]], there is a 50% chance that 1 hay is added to the silo (75% if cut with the [[Golden Scythe]]).
* Hay can be purchased from [[Marnie's Ranch]] for {{price|50}} and added to the silo by left- or right-clicking on the silo while holding the hay.
* Cutting [[weeds]] with melee [[weapons]] [[Forge#Combat enchantments|enchanted]] with "Haymaker" also has a 33% chance of dropping a hay (directly into silo, else into [[inventory]]).
* Hay can be obtained when harvesting [[Wheat]] and added to the silo in the same way.
* When [[The Player]] has hay in their inventory, hay can be added to the silo by left- or right-clicking on the silo while holding the hay.

*The silo is a good choice as a first building to be purchased. It takes fewer resources to build than other buildings, and allows a good stock of hay to be gathered before actually having to meet the needs of any animals.

*Instead of buying multiple silos, hay can be stored in a [[chest]] (when received as a gift in the mail from [[Marnie]] or withdrawn from the [[Hay Hopper]] before a Coop or Barn is fully upgraded). Hay can be moved from the chest to the Silo when necessary.

*Since all grass dies in Winter and farm animals will entirely rely on hay for the whole season, it's advisable to cut as much grass as needed to fill the silo(s) near the end of fall, even if it takes all the grass left on the farm.
*To avoid purchasing hay in the winter, you will need 26 hay stored per animal ([[Animals#Food|animals]] consume no food during the [[Festival of Ice]] or [[Feast of the Winter Star]]). 1 silo can feed 9 animals, so a total of 3 silos would be needed to feed the 24 animals of a full [[Deluxe Barn]] and [[Deluxe Coop]] for the season.

* Hay can also be obtained when harvesting [[Wheat]]. However, hay obtained this way does not automatically go into the silo, but into the player's [[inventory]].
