I agree with you on the parallel lines of hay, they do add interest to an otherwise boring landscape. It does look like the picture is slightly out of focus though. Did you intend for your aperture to be set to f/29? The blurriness could be a combination of motion blur because of the slow shutter speed, and diffraction from the extremely high aperture setting. It doesn’t help any that the camera probably applied quite a bit of noise reduction because the ISO sensitivity was set so high which would also tend to smear things a bit.
The white balance also seems to be a bit on the warm side, I would just try lowering it a few hundred degrees Kelvin, and see if it improved or not. See the example, I also added some vibrance to make the greens stand out more, just a few thoughts!
