Looks like it could be Amish country around Cashton, Westby, Ontario WI. I helped shock oats like that as a kid growing up on a farm in Monroe County, WI. We set six bundles vertically and one over the top as a cap.
 
Thats an awesome picture, I saved it on my desktop. The light really brings out the golden hue in the crop. Not sure what you took the photo with but its really nice shot. I wonder how that would have looked if a photographer with the fancy equipment was to set up and take shots as the light changes, its just one of those scenes that brings you back as there is nothing else in the photo to make you think otherwise.
 
I did that. I wasn't big enough to handle the bundles with a pitchfork, so I had to grab them by the twine and carry them. I also had to hold the first bundles to get the shock "started", then we stood more bundles around it.

Looks good in the pic, but just be glad that you didn't have to work the harvest back in those days.
 
We shocked cane and milo back in the 50's. Our shocks were round and closed in. Can't tell by photo, but did they put two pile's in a shock, or was the cut platform real wide. Shock's are very close together?
 
Billy----I wish I would have went back and got the camera....this was taken with a cell phone camera.

The sun was casting those long shadows from the shocks and made for a good pic of that valley behind the field.
