RE:I remember the first time I saw a field with rolls of hay across it

Are they called 'swiss rolls' there too?

and if so does anyone know why-

The do look like a snack cake called 'swiss rolls' (among other things) but i was told the machine to roll hay and not bale it, was originally of swiss manufacture.

I have never see real sheaves, (i have seen decorative ones at restoration villiages, but what little i know about farming comes from 1) watchin 'Modern Farmer' in my very early childhood (it came on very early, before early morning cartoons) and 2)looking out car windows, and reading.


my other obsession
