To make crop circles.
Those in the picture are also common in Germany and the Netherlands.
Here in Europe we use roller shutters in front of windows or doors for this. Works great, but the house gets really dark inside. A quick google search tells me this might be limited to Germany and bordering countries though.
In 1984 the smallest Volkswagen was the Polo, weighing 685 kg. Now it is the Up, weighing 991 kg. That’s 45% more weight. Now you specifically didn’t mention weight, but all that weight has to go somewhere, especially considering most materials mostly got lighter.
Nothing right now, but we’ve got raspberries, gooseberries and strawberries. Also grapes, but they tend to be late in the season. Most of the time we will not be there when they’re ripe somehow, and since our chickens are free ranging parts of the gardens, they tend to eat the gooseberries, and most of the leaves from the raspberries (not the raspberries self though). Most years we will also give them the grapes, since they’ll be ripe all at once. Sometimes I’ll try to make some wine from them though.
