Pitching sheaves

Before combine harvesters became widespread in the middle of the last century,
machines called binders were used to cut and gather grain into sheaves.
The sheaves were then stacked by hand into stooks to allow them to dry before threshing.
They were then gathered onto hay racks and taken to the threshing machine.

Fantastic image, what a story it tells, I can just barely remember the PTO belt driven machines.
