Growing and threshing wheat
Q. *HOW DO YOU THRESH AND
WINNOW WHEAT*???? (and other such grains, like oats, quinoa, amaranth,
etc.) I know there are various small-scale *milling* appliances available,
once you've gotten the wheat berries, but, what is a *practical*,
non-stone-age method of winnowing and threshing wheat?
A. The heirloom wheat we grow in the yard is primarily to show children what wheat
looks like and where flour comes from. For fun one year, we threshed the
wheat by hand. http://waltonfeed.com/old/wheat.html
