You can plant it in winter. While it doesn't grow and spread during winter, it should spread a lot in the night between Winter 28 and Spring 1.

Thank you!

The wiki states that a normal sycthe will give you hay 50% of the time, gold will give you hay 75% of the time, and iridium will always give you hay

Grass only turns into hay if you have a silo. Wheat has a by-product that is hay. I have never had to buy hay and always sell my mayonnaise. One of the first things I try to get built for income is a preserves jar. Then the keg. I tend to process everything. But, in very early game I just keep fishing. It helps to fix the bridge at the beach so you can pick up coral and other items that are good money early game.

How do I get more kegs? I currently have 1 because It was a reward

 

[PickledEggs]

It is a crafted item. You get the recipe once you level up far enough in farming.

A keg needs wood, oak resin, a copper bar and an iron bar. They're really useful for earning money, but you only unlock the crafting recipe at level 8 farming.

Thank you also what is best to throw in the keg I have? I just started year 2

You should probably have it by year 2 spring or summer.
For the other question, cauliflower, pumpkins, melons, starfruit, really any high selling crop.

Preserve jars are better for low-value crops/fruits, like parsnips, salmonberries, hot pepper and blueberries. In theory the breaking point to when the keg is more profitable for fruit is quite low (blueberries/apricots), while it's a bit higher for vegetables. However, since the preserve jars often work faster than the kegs, I tend to use the preserve jars for most produce other than high value fruits, coffee beans, hops, and wheat.

 

[PickledEggs]

For fast money using the kegs to make coffee, and beer using wheat, is good because it doesn't take long to brew. Coffee just minutes and beer takes about a day.

You mainly craft them. The recipe for that is learned from Farming a lot earlier than the recipe for kegs, so if you don't have it already, you probably will have it soon. It does require a fair amount of resources. 50 wood, 40 stone, and 8 coal.
