<p class="MsoNormal">I think it is a (experimental?) method of farming that is meant to reduce wind erosion. Or aid in land rehabilitation (perhaps planted with legumes?) Not sure of the type of crop here though - wheat maybe? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There are similar styles near Langebaan in the Western Cape. You can see them from the road (and on imagery) - the West Coast ovals are definitely planted, so not a race track in that case. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Cool pic , probably not crop circles though? Maybe they're clearing the land for farming purposes but working from the outer ringss inwards? Also some car race tracks or offroad 4wheeler tracks could fit the bill.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks for the share , sorry If I wasn't much help Kaylin. 😅<o:p></o:p></p>
