I vote hay.

Could even be from the adjacent field (would justify the 'volume/amount' of hay)

If they're too big for hay bails...they're WAY too big for tents etc...

Almost said ccc camp but there is nothing close by to justify the location. By close by I mean highway construction or dam or bridge or tunnel.
To big for tents and when magnified the shapes are to erratic to say migrant workers tents.
There are no signs or traveled paths even from farm equipment to say large hay or corn stock piles.
BUT possibly an old apple orchard

Unless they are for the birds

Just my thoughts

Looking at the lower left pic they all have a reasonable shadow about 10 o'clock. Showing some height to the objects.

I still have to say trees. Apple or cherry trimmed low for picking but spread.
The trees in the field row in both sets of pics have about the same amount of leaves.

Nice - never tried it like that.

Just a local site:




That 'Old Home Site' has the foundation still.
Looks awfully old.

Notice the orchard across the road in Gary's first pic looks just like your pic Jeff.

Gary any luck at the swimming holes north of the old home site?

Could be stacked hay. Or loose stacks of hay. The ones they put up here are about 9-10 feet tall.

When I was a youngster in Pa., the neighbor did all his haying by horse - he stacked loose hay and staked corn shocks right in the fields.
