By the end of winter, the hay barn floor is loaded with fallen hay scraps. After the dogs and cats have been sleeping on it, and foot traffic has been walking on it, I prefer not to give it to my animals. Instead, I make this scrap hay work for me by hauling it out to pasture. Hay is loaded with seed and a great way to reseed areas. As it breaks down the seeds fall to the soil’s surface while the green foliage remains as a mulch. There’s no such thing as hay waste!
