Traditional methods benefit hundreds of species but as new agricultural techniques take over, the distinctive haystacks mark a vanishing way of life

I like the haystacks. As also in alpine countries, they seem a fundamental part of the scenery. I guess they matter especially where livestock moves to mountain pastures in summer, while the hay from valley meadows gets them through the winter.
Maybe the tractor age is temporary, as smaller robots may surpass them in efficiency. So could anybody design robots to help with stacking and combing hay, if there are not enough young people to do it?
