Pallets in fields

Not just a degree, the man has experience, cachet and skill beyond words! :cool2:

I beginning to believe he has a PHD (Piled Higher and Deeper).

Maybe some active science is necessary here... I think I will go outside and place a couple pallets 'in the position' and monitor. I will of course report back all findings. Hang on....

Will you have to feed them while you are watching them ???? What would they eat ??

Steve, I respectfully challenge your assessment that the pallet formations are triangular. Had the two stacked pallets been stacked upon a third pallet on the ground, your assessment would be accurate. Looking at the formation, your attention is immediately drawn to the two stacked pallets, placed in an inverted V orientation.

Based on this, I am officially joining the "militarist" faction. For now. Until I change my mind. Maybe "alienist" tomorrow... No, definitely militarist. Maybe.

Sir, there is no requirement that the three sides of a triangle be composed of homogenous materials. The base of the formations remains terra firma, an inconvenient fact for the militarists. The attention of an amateur may be confined to the pallets, but a real scientist considers all the facts.

Steve I challenge you to stack seed bags on the earth and then try to pick them up and move them with your pallet forks

Lets see him explain his way out of this one! ha!

Excellent!!! The armchair "scientists" have tossed out conjectures left and right, but have made no attempt to test their so-called "theories" by experimentation.

Steve

PS -- make sure that you take pictures if the pallets take flight or aliens appear.

In reviewing the literature, I have found that the "Artist" theory has been offered before.
We require the services of someone with a BA.

If you eat too much, you'll going to get a BA. It's a fact of life.

I see that the die-hard "seedists" cling to their discredited theory, not unlike the members of the Flat Earth Society.

Instead of asking me to perform a meaningless experiment, "the seedists" should explain the "inconvenient" facts (repeated below) that debunked their theory in the first place.

Steve

I have seen a lot of fields get planted and generally the farmer fills up in the same place (on the side of the field) so as to refill the fertilizer tanks/bins at the same time as he fills the seed hoppers. As such, I don't think that your supposition will fit these pallets.

In addition, the "Seedists" should also have to explain the following.

The pallets appear in late fall and disappear in early spring according to the OP. What crops are planted in the late fall? Depending on how you define "late," only small grains and canola come to mind amongst the agronomic crops. Amongst horticultural crops, beets, broccoli, carrots (AKA carets), kale, peas, and spinach come to mind.

1. The OP provided us with photos of the pallet formations as of late December. Would we not expect to see some evidence of the germination and growth of fall-planted crops (either agronomic or horticultural) in those photos?

2. Why would farmers wait until spring to retrieve the pallets and thus do damage to fall-planted crops?

3. In my experience, a relatively small amount of seed is required relative to acreage. This is especially true for some of the horticultural crops. What crop uses a seeding rate that would require two pallets of seed every 500-700 feet?

Ahh, but it should be obvious to a learned man such as yourself... The pallets themselves are the true subject of this investigation. I think by ruling out the inverted V and insisting upon the triangle theory, you close off various avenues of investigation. Rather, I think you should consider the ground as possibly a convenient surface on which the inverted V formations be placed.

 

[Jim Shooz]

Have you considered that instead of an inverted V they could be the bottom half of an X. Who knows where the top half is, or what dastardly deed it is getting up to.
