On day 8 I drew the shocks of wheat at Hulver farm, at that time the wheat and the thatching straw were still together and were yet to be threshed. Back then we arranged to meet at Brampton plough day where they would have a threshing machine demonstrating the removal of the wheat from the straw. Today’s drawing has 2 people one pitch forking the sheaves of wheat into the binder the other removing the binder twine.
