Thank you to all the men that contributed time, experience, dedication, and effort the day of threshing to keep the old equipment rolling without delay! The cooks and servers were fabulous. We are grateful for their efforts in providing the meal to spectators and workers. The annual Threshing Bee plays an important role in bringing awareness and preserving history.
