Picking Corn Stalks

Picking Corn Stalks
My favorite machine on the farm is our antique Internationale Harvester Corn Stalk Bundler. It runs off a drive wheel and was designed to be pulled by horses - we rig it to our John Deere 6320. Its an amzing machine to watch in action - we're still not sure how it ties the knot. We always like to imagine the farmer over 100 years ago who was sitting in his house one Winter night thinking, "I'm never picking and bundling corn stalks by hand again....I have to think of something....." Fall Evening

Dave Dave - driving Stalking The Deere and Bundler in late day sun. The Red Barn Bonus Shot - The Red Barn that evening.
