This is deeply saddening. I had hoped that European farmers were too 
smart to be taken in by this. A friend spent last summer in an 
artists' colony in Macedonia, and came back with tales of how the 
smallholdings were farmed with horses and the hay cut with a scythe, 
and made into traditional haystacks, along with other things I 
associated with early farming practices. I guess I had the naive 
notion that much of the rural part of eastern Europe was like that. 
Guess I was wrong.
