Hayride Word Search
This hayride word search holds forty words for a ride on a farm wagon in the fall: bales of hay and straw to sit on, a tractor or a team of horses up front, a trip out to the pumpkin patch, and a bonfire with smores at the end.
Hay and straw look alike on a wagon but are different crops. Hay is grass or plants such as alfalfa and clover, cut while still green and dried to feed horses and cattle through the winter. Straw is the hollow stalk left after wheat or oats are harvested for grain; animals sleep on it rather than eat it, and since it is not needed for feed, the bales on many hayrides are really straw. Timothy grass, a favorite hay for horses, is said to be named after Timothy Hanson, who spread it through the American colonies in the 1700s.
Hay has to dry in the field before it is baled. Bales packed too wet can heat up as bacteria work inside them, and a barn full of damp hay can catch fire on its own, which is why farmers wait for a run of dry days. A small square bale on a hay wagon weighs roughly 40 to 70 pounds, while the big round bales rolled out by a modern baler often weigh more than half a ton.
