Hay is typically wet and holds into moisture, and this is definitely made of hay no doubt. That said, hay isn't normally flammable. The flammable stuff not in the picture is straw.

Hay is flammable if you try hard enough. Had a neighbor that caught a tractor on fire next to a stack of 500 bales (large round bales, about 1400# apiece). They all burned and nobody tried to put them out, it was a hellfire.

Hay is normally put up at about 12% moisture. Wet bales catch fire because they rot and spontaneously combust.
