To return to hay transportation for a moment. Huge amounts were transported to feed the many thousands oh horses in France during WW1. In what "shape" was it transported? Were sheaves just thrown into the (mainly) French closed wagons they were moved in when they reached France or were they in rectangular bales and loaded in an organised fashion. Presumably in the UK in both open and closed cans it would have been the same. Loose sheaves or an organised shape?
I want to represent wagon loads of hay and oats as per the photo in Aves second book on the ROD.
