Title	Wheat harvesters on a hillside in Cannon County
Description	Several wheat harvesters on a hillside. They are hand harvesting using cradles, tiers, and shockers to bind the wheat into shocks, so it can dry.
Historical Note	The individuals pictured are using hand tools such as cradles, tiers, and shockers to hand-bind this Cannon County wheat crop. These hand tools were employed by farmers in Tennessee prior to the advent of binder machines. In this case, the terrain may have ruled out the use of such machinery.
