Corn Binder

This corn binder  is parked along Route 16 in Schram City.  It has been there for a long time, but today was the first time I stopped to take a  picture.  You can't just pull over because it is on a curve with a narrow shoulder.  Corn binders were used to cut corn and roll it into a bundle.  The bundles were stacked into shocks for winter cattle feeding.
