Hay
Hay is a farm resource primarily used to feed livestock when they are kept inside their respective homes, such as cows in the barn or chickens in the coop. It can be obtained by cutting grass with a scythe or purchased from Marnie's Ranch. Players can store it in a silo and automatically dispense it to feed animals, ensuring their health and productivity, especially during winter when outdoor grass doesn't grow.
