It looks as though there are a few schoolbusses here. It also looks like they're about to dissolve into puddles of iron oxide.

It's obvious that those skoolies have been there for decades given the trees incasing them.
Old buses don't die, they just become parts of trees and landscape.

There might be usable parts on them but I suspect they're not even worth the cost of hauling them away for scrap.

Looks like a potential toxic waste dump. It will probably be very expensive to clean up that property. Yikes. Sad also.
Well don't say that too loud since nobody wants the DNR "nosy nate" types going after this and farmers since so many of them have old vehicles sitting for decades.
This does remind me of an old thread on here to the effect proof that you're a bus nut. Well, how about you take nice walk on a path that takes you thru rural or semi rural areas but are slightly disappointed that you didn't come across a bus that may or may not be parked with trees growing thru it.

I like seeing rusty abandoned vehicles with trees growing through them :) it's farm art to me, having come from a farming area.

I agree with that. It's almost an unwritten rule of being a farmer that you must have at least 3 dead vehicles on the farm with trees growing thru them and sunk up to the axles.
You see them and wonder about the history and why they abandoned them.
Here are some more examples:

I know old busses get used as sheds. When you see Lowes wanting $8,000 for a shed, a $2,000 school bus makes sense.

I want the metropolitan Nash that is setting on top of one of the buses.
also think I saw a couple of vw buses. they are all worth a bunch of money now.

This CHEVROLET/BLUEBIRD must not have been there too long.
