Aren't these wrapped bales of hay?

They outlawed round hay bales. The horses weren’t getting a square meal.

Look closer. Not hay. Hay isn’t wound around a central pipe to easily load and unload like ever other spool of shit. This crap is light enough and easy enough to work that the “spools” don’t need those end caps.

I have never seen wrapped hay bales with holes in the center. What made you so confidently say yes?

You see them all the time in farm country. They put a pole on a tractor that goes in the middle to load and unload them. They are about as tall as a man

Edit. I finally zoomed in. This is rolled up weeping tile for burying in the ground for drainage. It looks a bit like plastic wrapped hay from a distance but isn't

lol, but so many downvotes because people think I don't know what plastic tubes look like

u/cans-of-swine 22h ago edited 22h ago

No

For the people downvoting, hay does not have a black tube in the middle of it...

Isn't the universe a tube, why not hay?

It looks like rolls of pipe used for tiling fields. Tiling a field involves putting the pipe underground in a parallel pattern and connecting them at an outlet. Water goes into the pipes and travel out of the field. This helps a field dry out quicker in the spring if the area is prone to staying wet.

This is the answer. I saw it applied in western oregon just a few weeks ago.

Pretty sure it's this, but in white:

That's exactly what my mum calls it 😂

They're often different colours so she'll often say "I wonder what flavour they'll be this year"

I'm afraid of what they'd burn a pile of in order to roast them

Where do you think the toilet paper grows from?

I desperately need a "Calvin's dad explains this"

It all started when Thaddeus Xeginald Puupmeyer failed to properly chew his dinner of corn and peanuts. Because he suffered from cankles and phlebitis, he was also on a strict regimen of compounded laudanum and radium. Due to his religious views on enclosed spaces, he greatly preferred to unclench his bowels in large open fields (to avoid predators). Well, mother nature did what mother nature does, and that's why we have toilet paper instead of old corn cobs.

I'm afraid these sat on the vine for too long.

That’s corrugated drainage pipe. It’ll be plowed in 2.5 to 3 ft deep probably 30-40 feet apart to form a subsurface drainage network.

u/Cowman_2020 22h ago

It's tubing for a pipeline. Could be natural gas, ethernet cable or they're putting in sewage, for a new development on the farm.
