[AT] Corn Binding/Hay

[Louis]

Today, I was close to Amish county here in Ohio.  I saw some Amish out
cutting and shocking corn.  I got to thinking they need to get their tools
from somewhere.  Then I happened to think of Lehman's.  I have attached two
different links for corn knives.

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.
