I think Wilton has a tutorial on their site.  I haven't been there in years, but I could swear they have one.

How about using a garlic press? Another site I visit suggested using dyed coconut or even just using shredded wheat.

You could possibly use PhotoFrost sheets in the yellow, brown and gold Shimmer sheet and cut it into strips or even copy an image of straw onto a PhotoFrost sheet.

I saved this because it is so nice.  I didn't make it, but it looks like it's airbrushed.

I had to make a bale of hay a few months ago. I tried a few different tips & knew it would take forever going that route. I finally looked around my house & came up with this. I iced the cake in buttercream & then used a hair pick & ran it back & forth over it until it resembled hay. This worked perfect & some of my cake friends have already adopted this idea.
