'''Hay''' is dried [[Grass]]. Its only value is to feed Farm [[Animals]]. It can be placed into the [[Shipping Bin]] but yields {{Price|0}}.
 
 
 
Hay can be harvested from Grass using a [[Scythe]] or [[Golden Scythe]], as long as there is an unfilled [[Silo]] on the farm. Using a Scythe, there is a 50% chance of producing 1 Hay each time a tile is completely cleared of Grass; using a Golden Scythe, the chance is 75%. Note that although Grass can also be cleared using any [[Weapons|Weapon]] or [[Bomb]], no Hay is produced in these cases. All Hay harvested from Grass is immediately placed directly into the farm's Silos.
 
 
 
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 Hay stored in Silos can only be withdrawn using the [[Hay Hopper|Hoppers]] found in [[Coop]]s and [[Barn]]s. When right-clicked, a Hopper will dispense Hay equal to the number of animals living in the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 &mdash; 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.
 
 
 
Hay is also obtained when harvesting [[Wheat]]: there is a 40% chance that each harvested Wheat will drop one unit of Hay. This Hay is added to the player's inventory (or the [[Junimo Hut]] storage, if harvested by [[Junimo]]s) &mdash; it does not go directly into 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]]. [[Marnie]] may randomly send you 10 Hay in the mail.
 
 
 
==Feeding Animals==
 
[[File:Chickens_fed.png|thumb|The interior of a basic [[Coop]] showing the locations of the [[Hay Hopper|Hopper]] and feeding bench.]]
 
All [[Coop]]-dwelling and [[Barn]]-dwelling Animals expect to 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]] (if it has been unlocked).

==Quests==

Hay is not used in any Quests.
 
 
 
==Bundles==
 
10 Hay are used in the {{Bundle|fodder||y}}.
 
 
 
==Tailoring==
 
Hay is used in the spool of the [[Sewing Machine]] to create a [[Tailoring|Grass Skirt]]. [[File:Grass_Skirt.png|24px]]
 
 
 
==Tip==
 
* The only way to remove Hay from a Feeding Bench is to explode a [[Bomb]]. This makes it possible to withdraw Hay from the building's [[Hay Hopper|Hopper]] when it is otherwise impossible, for example, if all buildings contain Autofeeders or if the player's [[Marriage|Spouse]] has fed the animals.
 
 
 
==Change Log==
