Men are threshing sod wheat on Collie Kreader's farm in this 9-3/4" x 3-1/2" black and white photograph. A tractor on the left side is attached to a wagon filled with wheat. Men stand on top of the wheat in two wagons, and two men and two women stand on the threshing machine. An empty wagon with horses attached sits at the bottom of a straw stack 80 feed wide, 125 feet long, and 47 feet high at the right. Written on the photograph is: "#1. Threshing on farm of J.C. Kreader, 250 acres in one straw stack. Photo by Quade.
