Thanks to GUEST Billy for the explanations of harvesting grain in Scotland. I'd wondered about the level of comfort during lovemaking in a field full of stubble. When I was a boy a common expression for somthing patched or repaired temporarily and in a hurry was that it was done with "binder twine and baleing wire." It was at the time (in the U.S. midwest) when the balers that used twine were being replaces with those that used wire.
