Someone asked what some towers directly West of Harrow were. Some said they were antennas for some type of international financial trading. They looked like windmills to me on the satellite image.
I wanted to see what the CKLW 800 towers looked like on the satellite image. Five guyed uniform section towers, a parallelogram with a fifth tower in the center. The long shadows show that the camera was to the East and taken early in the morning. There were also scores of rectangular "structures", each with a shadow, that weren't guy anchors, that were all over the lot. They were whitish on the satellite images. The only thing I could figure out is they were plastic covered bales of hay. Any other possibilities?

I believe they are rolls of hays covered with plastic. Looks to me like each is sitting on a "path" cut into the lawn by the baler machine.
And they're probably all gone by now.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.

They are probably concrete guy wire anchors !!!! I have seen that at a lot of tower sites.

Open up this link. It's Harrow Ontario. Follow Highway 20 west. It will curve north and then back west.
The tower site is on the second curve. Look at it on satellite view and zoom in. I think it's bales of hay rolled up.
Or they're raising chickens. .

I think they're hay bales too.

Thanks for the correction on direction. I should know not to lay down and look at a map

I was looking at the latest image on google earth from this year ! Nothing in the field there, can't even get zoomed in to see guy anchors.
Went to the image you had been using and Voila ! THERE are hay cylendar bales all over the field !!

Yeah, it took me a bit to remember how I found the overhead view with the bales. Since you are looking at Google Maps, peruse the street view of the site. The grass is high. Makes me think letting it grow and baling it up is done on a regular basis.
