Oats is a grass crop. It is sown in spring, nowadays using a grain drill, which scatters the seed and covers it. This grassy plant eventually grows a seed stalk, the top of which contains the covered oat seed. When this "head" of the grain if full and dry, combines cut off the oats, separate it from the stems and chaff, and it is sold at grain elevators for production.

Does hay grow from wheat?

Not directly. But many farmers interseed (plant amongst) a hay crop along with a grass crop like wheat or oats. The grass cover crop helps protect the hay crop while it is very young and prone to damage. When the grass crop is mature enough, the farmer harvests it and leaves the hay crop to grow on its own.
