These 'stacks' are completely different to Monet's.

These are haystacks [often called hay-ricks] in a field of hay, so they are animal-food - humans can't eat hay.

Monet's are often [erroneously] called 'haystacks in English but Monet simply called them 'meules' - French for 'stacks'.

Monet's were grain-stacks, almost certainly wheat to make bread from but possibly barley or oats. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2.15.254.213 (talk) 07:10, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
