Threshing and Winnowing Ideas on Video

I was just sent a link to a video that I'll pass along. There are two different farm built small threshers and a simple demonstration of winnowing with a fan. Here in the Northwest it has been less than a stellar year for our dry beans and I'm not sure if we'll ever get a corn crop. Definitely one of the coldest and wettest on record. Hope it's better in other parts...

Field Day in Washington, Aug 25, 2010

It's been a while since we've had a post here but I wanted to let folks know about a field day up in Washington that's being put on by Snohomish County Extension - "From Field to Feed, Flour and Fermentation." Looks like a great event and you can find out more by going to Brown Paper Tickets.
