HARVESTING WHEAT by Judy L Neill

Percheron Draft Horses pull the farm's reaper-binder to cut wheat at the Dufur Threshing this year. This is the old time way of the farmers before all of the machinery that exists nowadays. The cutting unit of this type of reapers may be disc type or cutter bar type. After cutting, the crop is conveyed vertically to the binding mechanism where it is tied by the twine and released to the ground in the form of bundles once widely used to cut small grain such as wheat.
