I don't know if there's a world record for this sort of thing but...
I was walking the dogs earlier today, locally but a place I've not been to for a while. I remembered there being some huge stacks about a half mile from the walk in the past, but they seemed even bigger today. I did a rough count, and it seemed to be 50 bales long, and 7 high, so 350 in one row. And there looked to be at least 8 rows!
This means, unless there were huge gaps in the middle, 2800 bales
What's more, I could see at least another 5 similarly sized stacks nearby
Is having this many bales in one place unusual? I'd love to be able to recreate this in the game!

Re: Enormous real life bale stack!
They’re likely staging them to be hauled somewhere or to be sold somewhere over winter it’s pretty common where I’m from

His tractor must lag like crazy when he gets close to that.

I don't think I've ever seen stacks so large in the UK, but we do have a straw burning power station just a few miles away. Having said that, there's been Giant Haystacks on this site for years now, IIRC before the power station opened, but they seem to have got bigger now. It also looks far from fresh, so maybe just a serial bale collector?
I'm determined to have a go in-game now, despite the lag I'll get on PS4! I know you can beat the bale limit by buying bales, so I think I'll give myself the challenge

Re: Enormous real life bale stack!
Yea that is definitely a lot of bales. I haven't seen that many in one stack before. Is it round or square bales? All i see is round bales round here

Re: Enormous real life bale stack!
Yea lol we do round bales in Louisiana. Square bales are easy to stack a lot of. Only big stacks ive seen were when my dad stacks mats at work. He was the best guy who stacked them cuz he ws so neat.

Well, that is one way to make use of bales of stale hay/straw that has been stored too long.cedricthecat wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 11:05 am ,,,

Staging/consolidating hay stacks: done in real-life farming. I do the same in-game, usually in a nearby meadow field.
