Some time ago, as a part of the alphabet project, I posted a photo of a hay-rack (May 8 post). Objects like that were used for storing hay. Nowadays those are rarely used anymore and plastic bales prevail in the fields.

Oh my! How weird looking! What about worries that the hay needs air flow and spontaneous combustion problems from rotting bales? Seems like this wrap would intensify those concerns.
There are places in Upper Michigan where the old hay-rack are still in use. I don't have a picture though.
This is how they do it here too if no barn is available. I saw a farm this week where they were all lined up at the end of a field. It looked like a dryer vent stretched out across the field.
Great farm photo!
qiolly: well, the hay is dried before it's baled... i suppose it may ferment in there but that's not necessarily a bad thing (but i'm no country girl so what do i know)
dr.john: well, many are still in use here as well...
carletta: yes, many can be found here as well... but it's kind of incongruous to see these in a mountain meadow
