Tim, Thats the way we did it back when. We called those four stalks tied together, hobbles. Dad planted corn 28 inches apart in 40 inch rows. A shock was 16 rows wide and 16 hills long with the hobbles tied in the 8th and 9th rows. Dad cut most of the time by himself as we kids were in school, after school 2 0f us kids would run a rope around the top of the shocks and pull it tight while dad tied the shock with binder twine near the top. The corn was hauled to the barn where it was run through the shredder which shucked the ears from the stalk and elevated them into a wagon. The fodder and shucks were shredded and blown into the barn loft for winter feed. Shreddin days were a neighborhood event with good food and fellowship. Joe
