The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the following formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2\pi r h + 2\pi r^2 \]

where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.

In this case, the radius \( r \) is 7 yards and the height \( h \) is 8 yards. Using the approximation \( \pi = 3.14 \), we can calculate the surface area as follows:

The area of the two circles (top and bottom) is:

\[ 2 \times \pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 7^2 \]
\[ 2 \times 3.14 \times 49 \]
\[ 2 \times 153.86 \]
\[ 307.72 \text{ square yards} \]

The area of the side (the rectangular part that wraps around the cylinder) is:

\[ 2\pi r h = 2 \times 3.14 \times 7 \times 8 \]
\[ 2 \times 3.14 \times 56 \]
\[ 2 \times 175.84 \]
\[ 351.68 \text{ square yards} \]

Now, add the area of the two circles to the area of the side to get the total surface area:

\[ 307.72 + 351.68 \]
\[ 659.4 \text{ square yards} \]

So, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 659.4 square yards.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's recalculate the surface area of the cylinder using the correct values and process.

There are two components to the surface area of a cylinder: the area of the bases (two circles) and the area of the lateral surface (the side):

1. Area of the two bases (circles):
\[ \text{Area}_{\text{bases}} = 2 \times \pi \times r^2 \]
\[ \text{Area}_{\text{bases}} = 2 \times 3.14 \times (7 \text{ yd})^2 \]
\[ \text{Area}_{\text{bases}} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 49 \text{ yd}^2 \]
\[ \text{Area}_{\text{bases}} = 307.72 \text{ yd}^2 \]

2. Area of the lateral surface (side):
\[ \text{Area}_{\text{side}} = 2 \times \pi \times r \times h \]
\[ \text{Area}_{\text{side}} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 7 \text{ yd} \times 8 \text{ yd} \]
\[ \text{Area}_{\text{side}} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 56 \text{ yd}^2 \]
\[ \text{Area}_{\text{side}} = 351.68 \text{ yd}^2 \]

Now, we add these two areas to find the total surface area:

\[ \text{Surface Area}_{\text{total}} = \text{Area}_{\text{bases}} + \text{Area}_{\text{side}} \]
\[ \text{Surface Area}_{\text{total}} = 307.72 \text{ yd}^2 + 351.68 \text{ yd}^2 \]
\[ \text{Surface Area}_{\text{total}} = 659.4 \text{ yd}^2 \]

Upon rechecking the calculation, the original answer given is correct. The total surface area of the cylinder with a radius of 7 yards and a height of 8 yards, using 3.14 for pi, is 659.4 square yards. If you've obtained a different result, please ensure that we're using the same formula and that the values for the radius and height have not been altered.
