I've seen round bales and square hay, but never anything like this before, the design is so different and sort of cute..lovely view Jimbob!

Are you thinking about becoming Amish?
It is a scene that cannot be seen here as the work is done by machinery but it was like that before.The photo is very nice,Jim,the landscape is very pleasant,very nice colors and lighting too.

It has been years since I have seen this sight. Thanks for the fine photo Jim. A fellow told me that they do this to aid in the drying. Making a hut shape out of it allows air inside as well as around it, thus they can pick it up sooner for use.
I havn´t seen a sight like this since I was a child. It is beautiful I have to say, but I also know the hard work it takes to make these. Wonderful shot Jim!
Hello Jim....This is a lovely farm scene and I have to say this brings back memories when I was brought up on a farm in Scotland....When the corn was cut by a binder the farm hands built up the sheaves much the same way as in this photo...They were pointed south or south west to allow the sun to dry both sides equally. The drying effects of the wind blowing through the sheaves was very important....Well done....All the best to you Jim...............................................Mick.
Wonderful capture, the Amish around here are just starting to work the oat fields and make the shocks or stacks of sheaves and getting ready to thrash. Thrashing is actually getting the oats out of the straw, straw is what is left after thrashing I believe. I always marvel at this, this time of year. Very nice image.
A lovely looking scene and nicely composed photo, Jimbob. Love the colours and perspective of the shot leading away into the distant hill. Nice work with the angles in the scene as well. A great job!
Love this composition as it's a very good one my friend!
