My uncle found them in a barn on his new property.


They look to be on remarkably good condition to be that old. I am amazed that mice and rats have not turned them into dust.

Would enjoy that, too. Things have changed so much on the farm in my tenure here. I started out driving a Farmall Super C, an H, a M, and a 350, all Farmalls. No cab, no power steering, no remote hydraulics. Now, I drive a JD 8270 with total climate control, an onboard computer, Bluetooth capability, and RTK guidance which drives the tractor from.one end of the field to the other, holding it with sub-inch accuracy to the previous pass. It's mind boggling.

that museum where the Youtube video was filmed would probably be really interested in those canvas parts.

Neat video for sure.
thanks!

IA has one of the best Threshing shows in the mid west. Very interesting to see how it was done "back then". I am humbled to admit that I am very familiar with grain binders and threshing. There was some of that still going on when I was a kid. Most, including us, had moved on to combines(JD 55), meaning combination reaper/thresher. Some of the old timers still used what they had. Lots of small family farms and dairies then. Usually neighbors pooled their resources to get the job done. We had a New Holland baler so guess what, we baled a lot of neighbor's hay.

As a kid I had the privilege of gathering up the bundles and stacking them in the field. About 10 or 12 bundles would form a shock that looked like a tepee. Then later we loaded them on a wagon and hauled them to the barn where an old International tractor ran a hammer mill. We would feed one bundle at a time into the mill and out came chopped feed. Thats where I lost much of my hearinghammer mills were LOUD!

The stacked bundles often appear in period sporting photos and paintings. I'm a septuagenarian and I can't remember ever seeing that in my lifetime...Geo

The Amish communities do it that way around here.
Sometimes the fields take you right back to an A B Frost scene.
Minus the birds of course.


Out there doing it best I can.

not to be argumentative, but did a google search looking for frost prints with crop stacks...could not find any...maybe cause much of frost's upland scenes depict fall and winter...after the harvest?

following is link to what i did find...enjoy...
