haystacks

Barn's fodder reserves

Haystacks are large mounds of hay piled for storage and drying, traditionally cone-shaped or dome-shaped to shed rain.

The singular haystack appears in the idiom needle in a haystack—something nearly impossible to find among vast quantities of similar material.

Haystacks also names a no-bake candy of chocolate or butterscotch mixed with chow mein noodles, shaped into small mounds.
