How To Make a Sheaf

Cut a lot of the grain or forage, looking for uniform head size. Clean the excess leaves from the stalk. Arrange stalks in your hand individually so that the heads are lined up. Continue to do this until you have the thickness needed at the base of the heads. Tie with yarn or string at first, and then tie with ribbon and remove the original ties. Trim the stalks so that they are even.


All Exhibitors MUST HAVE their membership cards and a copy of their Entry Form when picking up their items from the Exhibit Hall.

Make sure you make a copy of your Entry Form BEFORE you send it in.
