IN the 1990’s our family was invited to a threshing and straw bailing ‘bee’ at the Stared Rooster Farm near Norwich, Ohio.
No horses but lots of old time tractors and assorted other early 20th century farm machines.

Getting to Central Ohio from Toronto on a Friday evening was a challenge.   

NO need to say more.  You can figure out what’s happening.   TEST: Find the man stooking sheaves of wheat.   Why bother stooking sheaves? Is that the
correct spelling of stooking?

A stook /stʊk/, also referred to as a shock or stack, is an arrangement of sheaves of cut grain-stalks placed so as to keep the grain-heads off the ground while still in the field and before collection for threshing. Stooked grain sheaves are typically wheat, barley and oats.
