Hay is made from grasses that are planted and grown specifically for animal feed. The plants are allowed to grow to a certain level of maturity then cut, let to sun dry, then â¦baled. Hay can also be made from several species of legumes such as Alfalfa , clover, and a few others. 3 people found this useful.
Hereâs my response: Hay bales are a food source. That is the first and perhaps most important difference. Hay is actually a plant that is cut when it is alive and full of grain. The purpose of the hay is to feed animals. Straw, on the other hand, is simply the stalks of standing plants that contain no grain. The grain is harvested from the plants by a machine that cuts it off of the stalk. The grain is then removed from the field and the stalks are left to die, standing.
