This field of sheaves of straw is just next to the Puddletown bypass, the A35 at Troy Town just east of Dorchester. The sheaves are probably going to be used for thatching, hence the harvesting of the stems rather than the ears of wheat. The sheaves had been stacked vertically in the sun to dry for several days and were now being laid out ready for collection.
