SHOCKING AFFAIR

Rate this item
(0 votes)
American Thresherman Assoc. members harvested wheat south of the fairgrounds using a team of mules and a circa 1920s binder. The machine cuts the wheat and ties it with twine to create bundles . Farmhands then stack the bundles into shocks. It takes 11 bundles to make a shock. The wheat will be used during demonstrations at the group's annual show that this year runs from Aug. 18-21.
