do the phrase, "low planet" make sense ?

Your msg 158: I never thought of "hay" (fodder for livestock e.g. cattle) and "machine" (for processing hay into a bale form (for storage and easy handling),
Ii is a common sight in American and British farm lands
and not in the tropical countries such as Singapore).
