Ah yes, another 105 heat index day here in the beautiful Midwest. So I'm doing a little research, and came across this farm field. Drunk aliens or the GPS on the old John Deere needs to be calibrated:laughing7:

Did anyone see Spring this year???????????????????????? crop circle gone wrong.jpg

I have no answer. I thought about replant of wet spots or something like that but if it was it got out of hand. Setting the gps on the tractor? Testing out a mud truck? Anyway, are those coal mine strip pits to the right side? Were they pre reclamation laws? Good luck.

Ya there strip mines. It's now Mazonia State Park. Lot of strip mining in this area from the late 1800's. Ended 1970's.

Just a guess, but there is a good possibility that the farmer was discing in ditches that winter or spring rains washed into the field.

If its private property the owner is at liberty to drive his vehicle as drunk as he thinks he can and law enforcement can't stop them. It'd be like a cop trying to give a racecar driver on a private track a citation for speeding.
Ahhhh, not quite! If they think or it appears the farmer is a danger to himself or others, they can hook him up & hold him in the drunk tank till he's sober. Seen it, done it! Just not commonly done too much paperwork, and if it's a small dept. some ones got to feed & babysit the detainee.
