Touring afar to #Inglewood #victoria#Australia today.

We observed freshly cut and bailed straw, most likely for stock feed.

These circular #haybails are large; about 5 feet in diameter.

These days you’ll notice some of these throughout #Centralvictoria are covered in a biodegradable protective cover so they can remain in the paddock and exposed to the weather until collected, sold or used.

The bails pictured however, will probably be collected and stacked / stored under large sheds to protect them from the elements. If they were left out they’d spoil, attract mould and become unusable for feed in no time.

I’d guess these were harvested and bailed over the past fortnight.

Last pic (you’ll need to zoom in!) shows hundreds of these bails over say, a 100 acre paddock.

There are so many!!
