Shocks of cut wheat stand in rows across a stubble field, each bundle propped upright so the grain could dry before threshing. Before combines took over most harvesting, farmers gathered cut stalks by hand or with binders and stood them in these conical groups for days or weeks, letting sun and air finish the drying. The scene shows the slow, labor-heavy rhythm of small-grain farming, when the whole crew depended on good weather to bring the crop in.
