Here in Sask. there were a few dry years in the 30s when the crops were so short that binders would not work. They needed a certain length of straw to actually form a sheaf that would hold together. Too short straw and it would just fall off the canvas.

It was like that here in 61. My Dad cut some of his wheat crop with the sickle bar mower, raked it and baled for feed as that was short too.
