What's the form round your way?

Round here, in the wilds of North West Hampshire, in the fields down the lane, it's big, rectangular ones. None of those dreadful round ones for miles, thankfully.

Predominantly round in mid-Wales, fields aren't big enough,  or perversely, flat enough for the bigger square balers. Quite a few little square balers still going.

Should add, parent's village, twenty minutes away, has either big rectangular or proper stooks!

Here, Borders, round and plastic wrapped.

.Parents, Lincolnshire, just had their hay done. Small 'old fashioned' squares but that's mainly because a bigger baler won't fit up the garden and through the gate into the field. Done with a Fordson Major if you really wanted to know.

Saw some almost square bales in Suffolk the week before last. These were only in a few fields. For the rest of the week they were a mix of round and rectangular (big and small).

Are you 15? Round is new fangled? I remember when it was all fields (of small bale).

What's with the pink wrap? Is it so that any waste plastic that escapes is easily spotted?

We'll, they are not very round either! When did this round bobbins start - 20 years ago? Small bale is an industrial revolution invention.

South Hants a mixture of round and square, depends on the lay of the Downs.

Up in R’ogate Shire they’re all round, well on this farm and the one over there >> they are.

Although in the Barn they’re stacked square..

Random is my conclusion..

Mostly  black bin bags full of cannabis round our way so  roughly cylindrical I suppose.

Upped their game a bit round our way. These were just down the road from my house.
