In the early to mid-twentieth century, steam-powered threshing machines were widely used on farms. Threshing, the process of removing the grain from the stalk on a plant such as oats or wheat, was a big event that drew friends and neighbors to local farms. Prior to the steam engine, this work was laborious and all done by hand. Even with a steam engine to power the threshing machine, many hands were needed to help bring in a crop. Women were also extremely busy during the threshing. The threshing crew needed to be fed and all of the women came together to prepare food for the crew. • This segment from Iowa Public Television's documentary The People in the Pictures: Stories from the Wettach Farm Photos features original photography, restored archival color film, filmed recreations, and first-person accounts of farm life in rural America during the Great Depression and early twentieth century. http://www.iptv.org/iowastories/detai...
