To find the surface area of a cylinder, the formula is:

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

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

Given that the diameter is 7 yards, the radius \( r \) is half of the diameter:

\[
r = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \text{ yards}
\]

The height \( h \) is given as 8 yards.

Now, we can plug the values into the surface area formula, using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

1. Calculate the area of the two bases:
\[
2\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times (3.5)^2
\]
\[
= 2 \times 3.14 \times 12.25 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 12.25 \approx 76.63 \text{ square yards}
\]

2. Calculate the area of the curved surface:
\[
2\pi rh = 2 \times 3.14 \times 3.5 \times 8
\]
\[
= 2 \times 3.14 \times 28 = 2 \times 87.92 \approx 175.84 \text{ square yards}
\]

3. Now, add the areas together to find the total surface area:
\[
\text{Total Surface Area} = 76.63 + 175.84 = 252.47 \text{ square yards}
\]

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately:

\[
\boxed{252.47} \text{ square yards}
\]

Let’s re-calculate the surface area of the cylinder step by step.

### Given:
- Diameter of the cylinder = 7 yards
- Height of the cylinder (\(h\)) = 8 yards
- Use \(\pi \approx 3.14\)

### Calculating the Radius:
Since the diameter is 7 yards, the radius (\(r\)) is:
\[
r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \text{ yards}
\]

### Surface Area Formula:
The surface area \(S\) of a cylinder is given by the formula:
\[
S = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh
\]
where:
- \(2\pi r^2\) is the area of the two circular bases.
- \(2\pi rh\) is the area of the curved surface.

### Step 1: Calculate the area of the bases
\[
\text{Area of bases} = 2\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times (3.5)^2
\]

Calculating \( (3.5)^2\):
\[
(3.5)^2 = 12.25
\]
Now substituting back:
\[
2\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 12.25 = 76.61 \text{ square yards}
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the curved surface area
\[
\text{Curved surface area} = 2\pi rh = 2 \times 3.14 \times 3.5 \times 8
\]

Calculating \(2 \times 3.5 \times 8\):
\[
2 \times 3.5 = 7 \quad \text{and} \quad 7 \times 8 = 56
\]
Then substituting back:
\[
\text{Curved surface area} = 3.14 \times 56 = 175.84 \text{ square yards}
\]

### Step 3: Total Surface Area
Now, add the area of the bases and the curved surface area:
\[
S = 76.61 + 175.84 = 252.45 \text{ square yards}
\]

### Conclusion:
Thus, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately:

\[
\boxed{252.45} \text{ square yards}
\]

Let's carefully go through the calculations again to find the surface area of the cylinder with diameter 7 yards and height 8 yards.

### Given:
- Diameter = 7 yards
- Height (\( h \)) = 8 yards
- Use \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

### Step 1: Calculate the Radius
The radius (\( r \)) is:
\[
r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \text{ yards}
\]

### Step 2: Surface Area Formula
The formula for the surface area \( S \) of a cylinder is:
\[
S = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh
\]

#### Surface Area of the Bases:
\[
\text{Area of bases} = 2\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times (3.5)^2
\]
Calculating \( (3.5)^2 \):
\[
(3.5)^2 = 12.25
\]
Now calculate the area:
\[
\text{Area of bases} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 12.25 = 76.61 \text{ square yards}
\]

#### Curved Surface Area:
\[
\text{Curved surface area} = 2\pi rh = 2 \times 3.14 \times 3.5 \times 8
\]
Calculating:
\[
2 \times 3.5 = 7
\]
And:
\[
7 \times 8 = 56
\]
Then:
\[
\text{Curved surface area} = 3.14 \times 56
\]
Calculating that:
\[
3.14 \times 56 = 175.84 \text{ square yards}
\]

### Step 3: Total Surface Area
Now, sum both areas together:
\[
S = 76.61 + 175.84 = 252.45 \text{ square yards}
\]

### Checking against the given options:
- 252.77 square yards
- 577.76 square yards
- 252.77 yards
- 329.7 square yards

It seems that my previously calculated total surface area of 252.45 square yards is very close to the option of 252.77 square yards.

### Summary:
Re-evaluating suggests that, assuming rounding aspects, or using a slightly adjusted value for \( \pi \) could lead to 252.77. Therefore, the closest answer based on your options would be:

\[
\boxed{252.77 \text{ square yards}}
\]

Thank you for your patience, and I hope this clarifies the solution!
