The Hay Hopper is a tool that is provided as a standard item in Barns and Coops when those buildings are constructed. It cannot be picked up or moved. Its purpose is to move hay between a silo and the player's inventory (backpack).

Its commonest use is to access the hay for distribution as food in a barn or a coop. The hay in the inventory is then ordinarily placed on the Feeding Bench in the building, where the animals can access it for feeding.

If the player buys hay or otherwise acquires some (by gift, for example), and uses the hopper while holding the hay, the hay moves from inventory into storage (a silo), as long as there is enough capacity there. Hay can move in either direction.
