[AT] Corn Binding/Hay

[John Hall]

Now I understand what someone else posted about twisting 4 stalks together 
to start the shock!

One other thing dad told me was if the shock was held together properly, one 
man could pull the wagon up beside it and load it by himself without much 
difficulty-assuming you didn't pile them terribly high on the wagon.
