[AT] IH Grain Binder

[charlie hill]

I went in a store a few years ago that had paper board cartons just like the 
old Pepsi or Coke cartons (you know the kind that folded flat and
folded out to hold six bottles) except they had a fancy logo on the with 
pictures of squirrels or something.  Each of the six holes that should
have held a bottle of Pepsi instead held an ear of corn.   I think they were 
getting 6 or 8 bucks for that piece of paper board and 6 ears of corn.
It's amazing what folks will pay for decorations or to feed wild animals and 
then complain about the price of food.

I have a cousin that would bind bundles of Silver Queen and sell to pumpkin
patches. He did it for a few years and made some pretty good pocket change.
I tried it but never could get the knotter on our binder to work correctly
so I just gave up.

John I bet those bundles of wheat or oats would sell like hot cakes at a
church fund raiser in some of those
farmers markets and tourist traps in your area.... and for a whole lot more
than the grain mill will give you for the grain.
