Seems to have been a cycle of straight cut to swath and then back to straight. In 1960 my dad did not own a swather and all grains stood until ripe enough to straight cut with the little six foot Case. Sometimes he used the binder to make oat sheaves or hire a neighbour to swath them as oats tended to shell out if left to ripen standing. After the early September snow in 1965 that laid standing crops flat a lot of people went to swathing everything. Dad got an old MH 12 foot pull type. Everything was swathed here until 1990 when I bought an 18 foot straight cut header for the 510 Massey. Since then I've been mostly straight cutting wheat. Sometimes oats. Always swath canola.
