I've seen them used to support the wires to grow quantities of some crops. They must have used a bucket truck for harvesting.

cut them into 4-5" discs and lay them into a bed of pea gravel for a cool looking patio.

If I had four poles, I would plant them and make a water tower. See internet for blueprints. You could get some incredible pressure off of that drop!
