In my region people grow hay (non-grain grass) on land they grow corn on, and bale it up to sell as livestock feed. It's part of crop rotation bc corn is rough on the soil but they could also just grow soy or a variety of other grain producing plants instead if there wasn't a demand for the hay.

What region is that? I have been a farmer, am the fourth generation of that, and live in an area that is heavily farmed.

No where does anyone rotate hay with row crops. Where do you live where that is common practice, and how does that work? New hay crops need a year at least to establish before you can cut for baling.
