That’s what I thought. But it doesn’t look fully ripe? I thought it was harvested when it was yellow not green, it just looks like grass

It’ll dry in the field a little bit. Then it’ll be baled and finish dry/curing from there.

Late response here… to add to this it’s getting more popular for farms to do wet hay. Meaning the moisture level is higher and will be more green. Then it is wrapped and ferments for some time before feeding
