Hay is simply dried grass that is stored for feeding animals on a farm. However, starting in Kansas, hay rides have become popular and part of who we are as a country. All over the United States, people are enjoying hayrides as a yearly tradition...and corn mazes too.

hay rides consists of people sitting in a open truck or pulled by a truck in a wagon or sleigh. Generally hayrides include pumpkin picking which is another great fall activity. 

Now, there are even haunted hay rides! It is very convenient that hay rides and Halloween fall at the same time of year. So, check out at least one this fall.
