Pallets in fields

[Depmandog]

Perhaps the farmer uses the pallets to mark which fields get lime applied by the local supplier. He might not lime every field every year - the pallets would make an easy visual to locate which fields are on the lime schedule.

Let the record reflect that I have already mentioned the possibility of the pallets being used to mark the field for the purposes of applying soil enhancements. Said enhancements (specifically lime) could reasonably be expected to be applied during the winter months.

I have never seen a crop duster apply his wares to ground without a crop....that would be ground dusting...and that I have never heard of.

Dean I am with you on this, I think that lime application is a good idea! What does this make for me 4 different allegiances.? One of these is bound to be right, and I am going to claim see I said in post #xx that is what I said! Heck we are never going to really know anyway!

James you are right...I believe the Vegas odds that we learn the truth are pretty high right now!!

 

[Wagtail]

As a followup, I am surprised that no one has mentioned the possibility that the pallets were deposited by fully laden swallows.

African or European? I observed a swarm of Tasmanian "Welcome Swallows" just yesterday... but it's summer down here so the season is wrong for the pallet-stacking phenomena.

And where are my Coconuts? And we will need the Holy Hand grenade.

Pallets are nothing but decoy,so that we don't see whats going on the other side of knoll/woods..and its working.

We now have a "Markist" (not to be confused with Marxist) Theory.

Unlike the Dusterist Theory, Markism is consistent with standard agronomic practices.

However, there appears to be a flaw with the Markist Theory and other theories that state the pallets are used to demarcate fields/boundaries/fixtures on a temporary basis.

Let us think about the time and effort to transport pallets, erect them in an inverted V fashion, and then retrieve them some months later. This would require strenuous effort by one person -- it is likely that two people would be involved. Also, equipment must be used to transport the pallets to and fro.

Contrast this scenario with the use of a plastic step-in fence post (or similar device) and plastic flagging. The field/boundary/fixture is identified and the fence post can be set (or retrieved) in a matter of seconds by one person. A person could easily carry the devices or use an ATV for transport.

How do the Markists respond?

With my apology for thread drift, but I would love to attend one of their reunion shows in London this summer. Alas, I will have to wait for the DVD.

Are you fans of Rowan Atkinson?

Hang on a minute mate ! From this side of the world that is not an 'inverted' V. It's the right way up. Just got a lot of dirt on the top of it. :thumbsup:

I apologize for being too Northern Hemisphere-centric.

Exactly!

Well obviously you have never flown with me!!! Actually I know I need to just dust the area under the pallets they mark the weeds he wants killed! :confused3:

Jeepers! At this rate we may never know the meaning of the Pallets. Maybe get a Roundtable together and go on a Quest?

Maybe someone with experience in writing grant request could put together one to cover our expenses and maybe medical coverage for Bob.

If Bob is now an alien, would he qualify for medical coverage? After being abducted and being that he may now be an "illegal alien, non resident", would he be eligible?

Perhaps the Landowners allow Boy Scout outings on these parcels? The pallets can be used for a Campfire.:

You've got it. The pallets mark the boundary of The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog. Call Tim the Enchanter also.

AND, he did not want to run over them after some grass grew up and obscured them, Sooooo.. he stacked them against each other...yeah, yeah, that is what he did!

Thats what I was thinking. He got tired of accidentally running over them.

 

[clemsonfor]

No no no no no no. That's too easy! You know better than asking that question. Besides, we haven't began to see the ridiculous answers yet. Answers like "he is marking each spot where his cattle was abducted by aliens?". ��

Google it! "pallets standing in field"

Google it! "pallets standing in field"

I did and looked at the image results... this one caught my eye.


It could be there are pallet stackers the world over such as the NJ farmer whose activities started this thread and if so he is a long way from the 'professional' level!

OR this could also imply there is a world-wide under ground organization of pallet stackers... possibly giving strength to the Alien Theory where signal fires such as this are built to indicate 'safe haven' areas. Possibly the field pallets then further indicate 'safe landing' zones in 'alien friendly' areas. A whole pallet signalling movement going on under our noses.
