it isn't considered straw until it's been dried and distributed away from the bales...I grew up on a farm.

Grew up next to a farm and never heard of a field filled with "bales of straw".

PROTIP: Farmers don't care about proper grammar, they are too busy loading bales of hay at FOUR IN THE MORNING

PROTIP2: Never go to a farm thinking its going to be fun

Hay is dried grass. Straw is something different completely.

Good quality hay should be green, not too coarse, and contain plant heads and leaves as well as stems. This is fresh grass/alfalfa hay, newly baled. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hay

Round hay bale at dawn. Hay bale is about 1.2m in diameter

Someone complained that this image shows straw, not hay. Look at the yellow stalks between all the little green plants. This is a field, not a meadow with grass (hay).
Correction: This image does indeed show a hay bale. Straw comes from wheat stalks, this is not a wheat field. Hay comes from grass or alfalfa. The "little green plants" you refer to is alfalfa.

So Wikipedia also has heated arguments over hay and straw.
