right|thumb|View of a haystack right|thumb|Haystack in Romania The haystack is a type of construction which is a feature typical of the calid European countries. It consists of a central wooden pole with stacked hay layers around it, forming a heap for later transfer to the barn.
A small wall used to be built around the haystack to prevent the cattle approaching it to eat the hay. At present, with the use of machinery, such storage has been replaced by "bales" of straw.
