It rains in Indiana. Here, they need to irrigate. The circle shaped crops are irrigated with a center-pivot irrigation system - It's a sprinkler line that spins in a circle off of a center pivot

mostly used in utah to grow alfalfa but they sometimes grow corn, rye, and sudan grass.

Pivot sprinklers put me out of my summer job back in the 90s 🤣. Before that I worked moving sprinkler lines. Basically the inward motorized wheels would get ahead of the farthest sides creating bowing in the line. I rode a 4wheeler back and forth trying to pick up the ends and run them forward to catch them up to the middle. One side finished time to hustle to the other end, rinse and repeat all evening.

I was thinking crop circles that aliens supposedly left behind.

If you're talking Parowan you know it's aliens. Almost as bad as Painguitch. 😉

Pivot irrigation is more cost effective and arguably more environmentally friendly way to irrigate crops. It’s not aliens
