Yes. Hay is THE main staple of any cow's diet when not on pasture.

Silage, hay and grain is often mixed together in a tub grinder or an automatic mixer. Different portions of silage, hay and grain is mixed together for an adequate ration mix for dairy cows, with not too much hay or too much grain, but just enough of everything to have plenty of calcium, protein, fibre, and other nutrients that a dairy cow needs in her diet.
Grass, hay, and grain.
There's no need to feed a cow corn throughout the winter. Good hay is good enough to feed her: it's cheaper, less trouble and better for her to eat. Corn should only be fed if she's losing condition or the hay you are giving her is really low quality.
Hay is used to feed animals when grass is not available.
Not much. Horse hay is mostly green hay that comprises of 95 to 100% grass. Cow hay, on the other hand, can be as green and grassy as horse hay, but can also be hay that is much higher in legume content (often up to 90%) than horse hay.
You will need enough land for a pature, a barn or stables, shelter,water suply, hay for the winter time, sweet feed, tack suplies, fencing around the pasture, feed and water throth, hay rack so hay doesnt mildowand time to care for them.
There is no such thing as an "average" dairy cow. As such this leaves this question virtually unanswerable because it depends on various factors including:Weight of the cowBody condition of the cow (thin or fat)Cow's rate of intake or daily rate of intake (which is affected by the cow's weight and body condition, as mentioned above, as well as breed)If the cow is lactating or notQuality of the hay (high protein low fibre or vice versa)Weight (which can affect size) of the hay baleIf the cow is being supplemented with other feed or not
Cow's eat grass so it usually comes out green. However, it also depends on what the cow eat's. But cow's can't eat that much, just pretty much hay and grass just like horses have to eat hay and grass.
