prairie hay
Dried flatland grasses
Prairie hay is grass cut and dried from natural prairie grasslands rather than cultivated fields.
It typically contains a mix of native grasses and wildflowers, valued for livestock feed because of its variety and nutritional balance.
The rancher put up three hundred bales of prairie hay before the first frost.
