hay bales
Bundled dried grass
Hay bales are compact bundles of dried grass, alfalfa, or other forage crops, bound with twine or wire for storage and transport.
Farmers produce them to feed livestock through winter or when pastures are sparse.
Bales come in various shapes—rectangular, round, or square—depending on the equipment used.
Stacked hay bales are iconic features of rural landscapes, and they sometimes appear as rustic seating or decorations at outdoor events.
We sat on hay bales around the bonfire.
