Except if France and parts of Canada. They have an organization that comes
in the middle of the night and takes you away for torture and re-education
if you dare use a word without official sanction! <g>

Hello Jeff,
>and I think one might argue that either could be "correct,"
In languages always the speakers decide, what is correct. Usage rules.
Hehe, Google as a strong linguistic tool - let's check:
"strewn field" -> 20,900 hits
"strewnfield" -> 22,800 hits
Therefore I'd say both forms are in use and "correct".
