•  Info “… and this year our fashion-forward farmers can choose from a collection of candy pink or ice blue silage wrapping. The colors are carefully selected to match the green of your oat field and make your farm look even better.”
  

Seriously, the pink silage wrapping is sold to support breast cancer awareness and the blue for prostate cancer awareness. Part of the proceeds from the sale of these colored wrappings goes to the respective cancer research. The pink silage bales also look very nice in a green field and hopefully, I will come across one with my camera ready when the light is good. All by me, -- cart-Talk 20:27, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Support -- LOVE it! I instantly knew this was a Cart photo--didn't have to look at who took it. Glad to see they're helping both genders. Often you only hear about breast cancer awareness. The bird is a great touch too.  Question what are the white/beige bales for? and what kind of bird is that? PumpkinSky talk 20:58, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

• The white/beige bales are just the normal color of silage bales around here, see this from the same farm last year. The bales are not as white this year as the farms are moving towards more recycled material, which is also good. The bird is a magpie (Pica pica), they are common around here. I chose this pic since I think it adds to the photo. --cart-Talk 21:16, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

What? No teal bales for ovarian cancer awareness? Oh wait ... I think that's another month. It'll happen yet. Daniel Case (talk) 18:02, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Question Any chance a colorful version of something like that is still hiding on your computer? --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

• @Martin Falbisoner: Hmmm... Unfortunately, that side is a bit cluttered this year. There is another angle I could try for a more close-up shot, I'll just have to see how near my camera can get to that. That side is all ditches, fences, brambles and oat field. Walking about in a growing oat field is a sure way to get on the wrong side of a farmer. In this nom I liked the contrast between the straight lines of the dour house and the happy round bales. Plus the bird. Also, too much sunlight is usually a bane when shooting silage bales since they are so shiny. --cart-Talk 08:08, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Looks like a candy farm! Yum! I suspect eventually we'll start seeing these on American farms, and when we do (there are plenty of farms near me that grow alfalfa in alternation with corn), I'll do my best to get a picture like this. Daniel Case (talk) 18:02, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

• According to what I have heard, the idea originated in New Zeeland and has found it's way here via some other European countries. Besides being for a good cause, they do make the landscape look a bit happier and more fun. --cart-Talk 18:40, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry cart, the composition doesn't convince me. I cannot say what I would have done differently as the subject itself is original, but the cropped trailer and the almost hidden 2 windows are disturbing to me Poco² 16:32, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Unable to find a reason to feature it as well. Looks quite usual. -- Pofka (talk) 11:39, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

• If you think this is the way silage bales usually looks, you must live in a city. :-) --cart-Talk 11:43, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose per Pofka--Ermell (talk) 07:01, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination I'll see if I can make something like what Martin suggested instead when the light is right. Thanks for all your input! :) --cart-Talk 07:50, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
