Binding wheat at the Central Kansas Flywheel Yesteryear Museum,  Salina, KS

The binder cuts the wheat and ties it into bundles also called sheaves.  It is placed into shocks to dry out before thrashing.

Cutting wheat in the field across the road from us.  Pretty dusty, but the combine operators are blessed to have a clean, air-conditioned cab.

Cleaned and ready for the next field.

 

No more harvests for this old Gleaner combine
