It doesn't take 50 bales to build a hide, a dozen will do.
Most farmers don't bale up the small ones nowadays, except for hay, and they're far too expensive to use as hide making material.
I would use some treated 6 foot long fence posts, with wire mounted on nails then infill with branches from a Leylandi tree.
Make sure you site the hides in the right places, most people don't..!!

Do you not have a bush, or a tree, or a hedge, or a ditch to use as cover? What background do you have? sometimes just a skrim cloth and a few twigs is enough.
From past experience I don't bother with a hide when shooting on rape, no matter where you set up the bug*ers move elswhere.
Just take in your surroundings and think how best to blend in.
Good luck.

| good advice! investing in a realtree clothing kit is money well spent also, doesnt help on the cold days so much though when the winds cutting you in half! |
