Straw For Sale
Hay consists of dried grasses and legumes, whereas straw is derived from the leftover stalks of grain plants. Hay serves primarily as animal feed, while straw has various applications on a farm, such as providing bedding for animals, acting as mulch, and even serving as a fuel source.
​
Straw is more fibrous than hay and less nutrient-dense, making it unsuitable as a primary food source. However, its absorbent nature makes it ideal for keeping animal stalls clean and dry, and it also helps in preventing soil erosion and retaining moisture in gardens. Both materials play crucial roles in sustainable farming practices and contribute to the efficient management of agricultural resources.
At Jacobs Farms in Redmond, Oregon, we are committed to producing top-quality straw for sale. As hay farmers, we are involved in cutting, drying, raking, and baling grass. Once processed, we store the hay in a barn or shed to protect it from moisture and rot. We use a variety of equipment, such as tractors, cutters, rakes, and balers, to ensure that all hay is produced and baled properly. In the end, our hay serves as feed for livestock throughout the season. We sell our premium hay in Oregon, Washington and California.
