Cutting Wheat with a Binder, Dorset


Wheat falls to the binder on Manor Farm, ready for stooking, and then carting to the rick. These methods, for the production of thatching straw, are a reminder of a gentler age of farming, and portray a more harmonious and photogenic scene than the roaring combine harvester.
