Hay from wheat or from Fiber Seeds?

[Erin E]

I have both wheat and Fiber seeds and I'm wondering which is better for getting Hay. Right now I'm harvesting Wheat and what isn't hay, is going back into a Seed Maker to be replanted (basically I'm recycling Wheat). But I'm wondering if it would be better to use the Fiber seeds to make Grass Starters and harvest Hay that way or continue recycling Wheat.

Note: I have absolutely no use for Wheat and therefore will just either recycle it or turn it into Flour to be sold. So don't worry about me losing wheat.

wheat has only a chance to provide hay and mainly gives only wheat , because it mainly, well, is for wheat, the hay is only a chance sidekick.
grass provides to 100% hay if you use the golden scythe on it.

You know Pierre's has a recipe for making Grass Starter from 10 fiber, right?

Anyway, no idea on your Hay issue, I usually make Beer with my Wheat. That and I just cut the naturally occurring grass around my farm "badly" so that it regrows faster. Dropping down a Lightning Rod (or five) helps too sometimes since that'll make a patch you can't eliminate.

I have a golden scythe, so do you recommend I use the grass or the wheat?

I know. What I'm asking is, should I use the Fiber to make the grass starter to get the hay or just keep using the wheat to get the hay?

Hmm... dunno.

I don't know if there's actually a Hay spawn rate difference between the two. It's RNG either way.

I guess it comes down to what you like on your farm really... do you want everything to look manicured and planned? Or are you okay with a little wildness?

If you like the planning, go with the Wheat. If you like the wildness, go with the Grass Starter.

I guess I'd probably go with the Grass Starter myself, since it's less labor intensive during the growing process.

You won't lose wheat because of the hay. You'll get hay when you use the scythe, and you'll get the wheat too.
I prefer using grass starters and occasionally chipping away at the grass, leaving enough that it'll grow back. The upside is that you don't need to water the grass, and you wouldn't need to water fiber seeds either. Dunno about different spawn rates.
