This is about something else, a new chumra that R Landau introduced for
his hechsher this year.  According to the article, all the hechsherim
have always required the cows to go off chametz a month(!) before Pesach;
I don't know whether that's accurate.  RMYL became worried that this
chametz-free hay, because it's made from the stalks of grain plants,
might contain chametz after all, so this year he got the farmers to use
a new kind of feed that has no cheshash of chametz.  This doesn't explain
what the problem with chametz is in the first place.
