Ok, I ran into a neighbor who though the fields in question are not his has lived here longer than I and knows the owners. Since they live in another state (I think he said TX but not sure I remember that correctly) they are not around to ask directly. I just happened on him as he was out cutting down some branches off tres along the roadside that blew down in the last storm.
Anyway, I asked if he knew why some of the local fields had the pallets leaned up against each other in some fields.
He said all the fields where he has seen them are planted with winter wheat and that they are meant to keep the birds from landing as they migrate south.
I was thinking they might be some type of crude scarecrow too but I did not offer that to him I let him tell me what they were.
Anyway, that's what I was able to find out. He says the owners are not around that often but he would ask next time he sees them if he remembers to, but that probably won't be until Spring.
I don't know how this simple question got to 43 pages or replies. I didn't think this would be so difficult to answer. But I must admit I have not read all 1700+ replies.
Case closed as far as I am concerned.
I'll be more careful what I inquire about in the future. I hesitated to even ask the question cause I thought it's probably so obvious what they are for I will feel dumb for asking, but since it has raised so much debate I guess that's not the case.
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled program.
You now have control of the horizontal and verticle again.
