Each Silo can store up to 240 pieces of Hay. Hay stored in Silos can only be withdrawn using the [[Hay Hopper|Hoppers]] found in [[Coop]]s and [[Barn]]s. When right-clicked, a Hopper will dispense Hay equal to the number of animals living in the building — but no more than the number of empty slots in the building's Feeding Bench. Therefore, it becomes impossible to withdraw Hay from a Hopper in deluxe Coops and Barns where the autofeeder always keeps the feeding bench full (see [[#Tip|Tip]]). Right-clicking on a Hopper if Hay is the active item in the player's inventory will transfer the entire stack of Hay into the Silos. Once retrieved from the hopper, hay can be transferred to chests for storage from the inventory, bypassing the need for multiple silos.

Hay can be purchased, either from [[Marnie's Ranch]] for {{Price|50}} or from the [[Desert Trader]] who sells 3 Hay in exchange for 1 [[Omni Geode]] on Mondays. [[Marnie]] may randomly send the player 30 Hay in the mail.

Fifteen pieces of hay are provided by Mayor Lewis at the start of the game if the player has chosen the [[Farm Maps#Map Types|Meadowlands Farm]].

All [[Coop]]-dwelling and [[Barn]]-dwelling Animals eat 1 Hay per day as [[Animals#Food|food]] whenever there is no fresh [[Grass]] available. This Hay must be placed on the feeding bench in the animal's home building; the [[Hay Hopper|Hopper]] in the building facilitates withdrawing Hay from the Silos to place on the bench, although the Hay can come from any source. The autofeeder in Deluxe Barns and Coops automatically fills the feeding bench. If unfed, animals will not die, but they will be [[Animals#Mood|unhappy]].

Given that all Grass on the farm disappears on [[Winter]] 1, it is advisable to Harvest as much Hay as possible by [[Fall]] 28 in preparation for the winter. Building multiple [[Silo]]s may be necessary to provide sufficient storage capacity for Winter. Alternatively, Hay can be withdrawn via a Hopper and placed into Chests. If the farm runs out of stored Hay during the winter, the only ways to feed animals are by purchasing Hay, or by growing [[Wheat]] in the [[Greenhouse]] or the [[Ginger Island#The Farm|Ginger Island Farm]].
