Thrashing-time near Sardis, Ohio – The Thrashing Machine
This metal monster of belts, shakers, fans and flails could hungrily digest an entire field of shocked wheat or rye or oats in just a few hours. Keeping it fed took a crew of several hard-working men and women. The women usually undertook the difficult job of providing food and water to the thrashing crew.
This photo taken were taken at the Homer Jones farm on Calico Ridge, Jackson Twp. in the Summer of 1952
