hay field

Where bales originate

A hay field is a field where grass or other plants are grown specifically to be cut, dried, and stored as hay for livestock feed.

The term emphasizes the field's agricultural purpose rather than its appearance: The hay field needs cutting before the rain comes.

Also spelled as one word: hayfield.
