Planning each job involves (1) choosing a suitable field from previous aerial observation, deciding where to park the vehicles (2) cutting a few nylon cords, with knots along them at critical points in the pattern (3) use of 4ft rollers made from large diameter plastic gas pipe (the type they put under roads), capped on one end, with a short thru rope to be dragged round the waist behind the circle maker. On arrival at the field the tube is filled with earth to make it heavier, then capped the other end. Second rope held in hand at one knot position with assistant in middle; walk round each circle only takes 10 mins, then still dragging the roller, walk off to next knot along the main cord. Men locate other critical positions for arcs etc, send cords to other men, roll out the design, all finished in an hour or so, then back to base /home before the cock crows. Bigger patterns are usually symmetrical and can be done in sections by members of the group. The one at Milk Hill aug 2001 for example, took 8 men 3 hours to finish in the rain, but still a much easier job than killing iraquis in the desert.

Here is a quote from the person who claimed to make the crop circle in the o.p.
For many years our colleagues have been making crop-circles for profit round the Wiltshire area where we live. Some of us started as pranksters back in 1990, then following a rise in requests to pilots in our group of light aircraft owners for flights over the fields, we realised there was a fair amount of money to be made from the rich people who came from all over the world, eager for information about “the aliens”.
Sounds like a pretty detailed explanation. Why would he make that particular story up?
So, he is in a group of light aircraft owners, and rich people from all over the world interested in crop circles pay him for flights over the fields.
Sounds intricate, and random, and believable. I don't have any reason to doubt it. It's one possible explanation.

Awesome job showing even more proof that all crop circles are man made, then people scam everybody with their websites by making some big ole story up about what they mean. You are a credit to ATS and Denying Ignorance. I am glad that you are here.

Good for you. At least that makes you feel better just walking blindly through life with no faith in what could be 'out there'. I guess one man-made crop circle explains everything.
I think the OP has done a great job bringing this to attention..BUT
There is a big difference in faith an blind faith..

But, I can assure you, 'the Avebury crop circle team' did not produce many of the formations over the May, June and July period.
How can you assure me that? Do you have any evidence other than links to crop circle promoters?

I was talking about some research I once saw in a documentary, done by people who are paid a lot of money to investigate these things. They had computers, chemistry equipment, etc., ie they were prepared for the job.
Assuming their research is valid (I would have to find it and watch it again to remember all the details they offered, but watching them was enough to convince me at the time), they found several phenomena men with planks can't accomplish. The more interesting of which seemed to involve microwave radiation phenomena, and they were convinced the mechanism that bent the plants over was related to that and not to stomping. There were also distributions of metal spheroids in the soil samples taken from formations that weren't found in control samples and that had odd distributions around and throughout the formations.
