To quote from the wikipedia link I included "Especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland, the term meadow is commonly used in its original sense to mean a haymeadow; grassland cut annually for hay"
I cannot see the difference between "grassland cut annually for hay" and "hay production". By definition a meadow is not used for grazing (or there wouldn't be any hay) and only informally for recreation (lovers in the grass). Note the same wikipedia link defines 'pasture' where the land use is grazing.
