Farm Hack Kentucky: Small Scale Grain Production
NOTES FROM MEETING: The meeting focused on challenges with growing grains on the small scale. The first half of the day was spent learning about the workings of large scale combines, discussing the properties of heritage grain varieties, and reviewing demos of threshing and seed cleaning equipment. The main group then split into two groups to work on a design solution. Group 1 created a design for a thresher/winnower using a rotating drum from a combine in order to completely remove seed from plant material.
