Q. Mike knows a lot, and I love the show (I listen on KSFC; 91.9 FM), but on a recent program he referred to hay and straw as if they were interchangeable. Straw is a stalk, usually a waste product of wheat, that's used as bedding for barnyard animals. Hayâtypically alfalfa or a grassâis used as animal feed. ---Mary Beth in Spokane (Washington) A. I can think of a lot of times when I spelled out the differences between hay and straw, but never when I confused them.
