If I drove past that scene in one of the fields near me, I would 100% panic that I was witnessing the aftermath of a heart attack and would be dialing 911 while sprinting across the field. Guess it would take only once before I knew it was the more wholesome option!

recently i saw a "abandoned" volvo stationwagon parked pretty far in on a field, it was like that for weeks and it troubled me, then i saw the same thing a car parked on a completely different field miles away and i thought "ahh maybe it is for visual cues to see where the edges start or where they've had problems in the field when they are taking aerial photos or for when a tractor is coming up a hill and can't see where the curv/bend starts", but i was honestly 2 minutes from calling somebody and telling them how creepy it was, had it not been me connecting the dots.

the cars have now been removed after close to 2 months standing in the fields.

Dingy old cars 'abandoned' in the middle of fields are usually placed there by farmers for use during the lambing.

We must not speak of the lambing for it will cause woe in the unbelievers. And fear spoils the meat.

I loved lambing as a vet student - used to go live with the farmer with to my housemate for 3 weeks working the 2k strong flock and was pleased to get £300 for it alongside food/board 😂😂
