These are caused by central pivot irrigation systems, basically a large sprinkler consisting of a very long pipe with many sprinklers on them, supported on wheels. The whole contraption travels in a circular pattern watering crops, usually corn. The pipe can be about an eighth of a mile long.

Welcome to the wonderful world of crop circles. They cropped up (no pun intended) a decade ago, and are believed to be the work of practical jokers who go into a fieldl in the night and, using ropes, planks, etc, make circles in the middle of the fields -- at least, the originals were circles. Now they are made into other esoteric shapes as well. The challenge was to get in and make the circle and get out, without leaving tracks or trails, so it looked as though aliens had landed there.

Crop irrigation circles.
Something to make crops to better. They're not vats of poision that they're experimenting with at Area 51...

crop circles some say aliens made them because they are usually symetrically perfect, but there are a group of humans that go into fields and make them which is probably what really happened

they're crops, I think the circles are for better irrigation, allowing a central pivot point for the irrigation machine.
