Traditional hay stack
In this day and age of modern machinery we rarely see pictures such as this. Not only does it illustrate the subject Hay well but it illustrates a way of life that is becoming forgotten by many. This picture was contributed by User:Paulnasca. 5/2 Jtkiefer  T - 02:28, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * support This picture was took by me and was taken in Lunca Bradului, a small village in Mures couty from Romania. I have many other pics of haystack :) Paul Nasca 17:17, 08 August, 2005 (UTC)
 * Nice. I wonder if the top should be cropped slightly though? Whitehorse1 01:28, July 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * I tried cropping it but I think I overdid it. How much did you have in mind? David D. 05:44, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * A second attempt. David D. 05:48, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Support all but the most cropped version. I like the atmosphere and contrast the background brings to the image. - Mgm|(talk) 01:26, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not terribly eye catching. Enochlau 10:05, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. While not "extremely" eye-catching, I find it nostalgic, and it happens to be a subject I've never seen in real life, besides having visited quite a number of farms in Quebec. Circeus 22:47, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

 * Support This is an intriguing picture of hay, that  would prompt me to read the article. To me this hay stack looks a bit like a hut, and unlike the rounds, blocks, and mounds of hay  I have seen elsewhere. A technical question, can the caption provide more detail on the stack, does it represent the rippling method, the cock method, or some other method used by Romanian farmers. And I am curious if those poles sticking from the haystack are part of some internal basket that supports the hay. Hebb l 21:33, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
