KSW at the 2010 Chico Threshing Bee

06.14.2010

Kinetic Steam Works was proud to support the 2010 Threshing Bee at Patrick Ranch in Chico (12-13 June 2010). Here is a short clip of Pappy driving a wheat thresher. The wheat is grown on site and is harvested by vintage machinery and horse teams. Then it gets threshed to separate the grain from the straw, and ground into meal and cooked into pancakes, biscuits, and other yummy treats. The 5 acre plot then gets plowed and disc’d to be ready for the next growing season. All this in one weekend!
