In ordinary or rich soil, haygrass has the highest yield per day per tile, and therefore highest nutrition output (per tile) out of any player-growable plant. [[Rice plant|Rice]] in [[hydroponics basin|hydroponics]] provides more, but hydroponics basins are expensive and rice takes a lot of work. The disadvantage is that hay cannot be eaten by humans. | In ordinary or rich soil, haygrass has the highest yield per day per tile, and therefore highest nutrition output (per tile) out of any player-growable plant.

In a year-round growing area, you can make their pen bigger instead of growing haygrass. Therefore, hay is best used to feed animals during the winter. |

| − | Corn is often a better choice of animal feed. Haygrass' yield per work is high, but not as high as corn.

Also, corn can be converted into [[simple meal]]s or [[fine meal]]s, which are more efficient than kibble. If animals wouldn't be [[overeating]], then simple meal corn actually gives a greater yield per day. Animals don't treat hay differently from any other food. |
Haygrass does have a notable advantage - it grows faster. If you need to grow animal feed, then your biome most likely has a winter. Hay grows faster than corn, so you may be able to get a harvest when you wouldn't have corn. In addition, humans with a [[rancher]] [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} receive a {{--|4}} mood penalty for sowing non-hay crops. | Haygrass does have a notable advantage - it grows faster.
