I've talked to a lot of older fellows in years past when we were shocking wheat. It seems that there is no real answer. People just did it differently. The way I was taught was to lean two bundles together. Place one on each end so you would have a line of four. Then place one on each side in the middle(Have I lost you yet?) This should look like a cross(+). Then place four on each corner of the +. I was taught to cap with two bundles. Bend them over and place the heads toward the prevaling wind. My area would be one North and one West. That makes 12 bundles to a shock. Like I said, when you talked to some of the old timers, you almost always got a different theory. The way I do it makes it easy to set a shock up by yourself.
