Could you use cut and flooded hay as a food source or is rice stubble the only way to go?

Crawfish eat decaying vegetation...it doesn't really matter what kind. The main reason you don't see crawfish behind soybeans is due to the fact that soybeans have very little stubble. You need the stubble or some other dead or dying vegetation (or organic matter in general) to feed crawfish.

Keep in mind, there are a lot of crawfish caught out of the Atchafalaya Basin each year...and they aren't eating rice.
