Does anyone know what the name of the small individual squares that make up a bale of hay are called? I can't remember.

My Dad called them a "leaf", but I don't know if it is correct or not. We just understood what he meant. (Iowa=Midwest term????)

My grandfather always called them "squares" so we continue the tradition today!

I have heard them referred to as batts also.
