WHEAT BINDING DEMONSTRATION AT THE AMISH HERITAGE CENTER
Below are photos of wheat binding at the IAHC in 2017 in preparation for that year’s steam threshing show. It never gets old watching the magnificent power of the horses.

The binder cuts the wheat and then ties or binds it into sheaves.
Nearby Amish families came to help with shocking the wheat.
Levi Yoder demonstrates how to stack the sheaves into shocks for drying in the field.
