Bringing in the Sheaves

      Backus-Page volunteers spent Sunday afternoon "bringing in the sheaves". Harvesting wheat using early 1900's methods and equipment. The wheat will be used at the Heritage Farm Show, Sept 15-16, demonstrating threshing. 

Threshing is defined as the process of loosening the edible part of grain from the inedible chaff that surrounds it. It is the step in between harvesting and winnowing. 

Hope to see you at the farm show!
