The oats was first cut and put in bundles in the field by horse drawn binders which were converted to tractor pulled. Then several days later you had to walk through the fields and gather 3-5 bundles and stack them together tee pee style where the oats would sweat and finish drying. When the thresher you see in the pictures came to each farm the neighbors would bring their hay racks out to the fields and pitch the bundles into the racks with straw forks. Then when full you would pull up to the stationary thresher and pitch the bundles into the conveyor that fed the threshing machine. After the grain was separated the oats was conveyed into the triple box grain wagons pulled along side and the straw was blown into the pile.
