Muddy Fork Road in Pike County, Ohio.
This is the modern version of the corn shocks that the Amish still use. Baling stalks saves the grains missed by the corn combine. Here’s a some info from LSU:
"In the corn producing areas of Mid-west and
Great Plains, cows are routinely wintered on corn
stalks. This by-product is an excellent forage for
meeting the requirements of gestating cows,
often only requiring some protein
supplementation during the end of grazing".
