Grass straw is the grain seed and leaf content that determines its quality. Farmers try to mow the grass before the seeds are fully formed, but when the leaves are most abundant. Cut herbs are left on the ground and most of the moisture in them is evaporated, but the leaves are not allowed to dry completely so that they can be easily collected and baled with machines.
Bale of grass is very sensitive to weather. During drought, both seeds and leaves become puny, straw is obtained with a High STEM ratio and low nutritional value. If the air is too humid, the handle can rot before it is baled. Or, after baling, the handle can rot and mold, and some toxins can form in it that can make animals sick. The straw must be stored in such a way that it does not get wet. Mold and decay can reduce its nutritional value and make animals sick.
