BREAKING DOWN 'Unintentional Tort'. In certain cases, a person causing an accident may be held legally responsible for their negligence and may have to pay a plaintiff for physical injuries, property damage and/or financial loss.
Straw is normally used for a bedding material, while hay is used as a feed supplement. Straw is dried out and works well for building nests and providing cushioning for animals to sleep in. It is not moist like hay and is unlikely to mold.
Straw is cheaper than hay and hay has more seeds. Hay is the first cutting from the hay fields, all of the top growth of the plants, thus containing more seeds. Straw is cut afterwards and is simply the stalk of the plants. Like Bookmark June 29, 2005 at 3:39PM.
