Farms do not grow straw. Straw is the residue from cereal crops like wheat, barley, rye or oats. After the grain is harvested in the combine and the chaff, which is set to not be spread by the chaff spreader on the rear of the combine, is "dumped" out in a swath out the back. A tractor with a baler implement attached on the back (same baler that is used to bale up hay) gathers up the straw with the pick-up reel and packs and makes it into a straw bale.
