Straw bales
Straw bales are all that remain of the wheat fields now. There were also some rectangular bales; for pictures of those and plastic-wrapped cylindrical bales, visit my overflow site.

A few DPers have recently posted photos of hay or straw bales from their corners of the world. If you know of others I've missed, please leave a comment.

Interesting picture ! I prefer the bales without wrapping. It is more natural !
Your rolls of hay look very professional compared to those I took. Mine were almost unrolled in places. I like your shot and the angles you used.
Have a nice weekend.

I love the perspective of your photo. And, I love the bales as I drive along the highway. It's such a great symbol of the season, isn't it?
I always like these types of photos and like how you have the one up close.

Good to see you are keeping up your interest in wheat etc. Ref your ?s. They large combine harvester separates the grain and chucks out the straw & chaff. The grain goes for drying and grading, store and auction. Current weather means a shortage of grain both in quantity and also in quality, world wide. The grain grown for seed will be graded and checked for seed born disease and treated with fungicide to stop disease in the seed destroying next year's crop (which could catch fire!!! eeeek. The straw will be baled and used for many other applications. The seed corn must be graded, analysed, treated and sold to the farmers for planting this autumn. Normally the whole process of harvesting, grading and treating and resale and planting of seed must be completed before 16 Oct which is genrally the last day of suitable weather in North/South Europe. City dwellers haven't a clue what supports them.
Great composition Z
I really like the way you took this picture - showing the hay rolls up close, and at a distance.
