    It could be Skageflå in Geirangerfjorden

    Those are haystacks, not corn shocks.

    Thanks for your comment. I looked at the tiff image for the picture at : memory.loc.gov/master/pnp/fsac/1a33000/1a33800/1a33822u.tif It seems to show a cornfield and stacks of corn plants, so the caption is probably accurate.
  • pgcosmin said:
    Definitely that is a stack of maize plants. The cattle eat the dried leaves during winter. The type of agriculture practiced there in the 1940s is strikingly similar to that of Central Europe.

    I've never seen these type of stacks.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Edible Chesapeake, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Haystacks with fences? Dairy farm?
  • artpease said:
    My question exactly about those haystacks. Probably for beef cattle. Not sure why the fences around the stacks, as all the fields themselves seem to be fenced.
  • artpease said:
    Oops! I see that there are several haystacks within one fenced field.
  • pgcosmin said:
    The fences were protecting the hay while the cattle grazed there. The hay was for winter time.
