I recently purchased a Yanmar Rice Binder, I plan to use it on my own small grain crops and to harvest wild Rye next season, if you would like to use it let me know.  We could quickly bind a lot of rye.  I also plan to build an axial flow thresher this winter, to go along with it.  I am looking for ancient type wheat or Triticale or Rye seed to plant and I saw your name come up in several places, do you have anything for sale locally?  Otherwise I'll just order.  Thanks.  

Joseph, could you describe your technique for harvesting and threshing it out?  Thanks.

Joseph, what can you tell me about the Purple Heritage Plum?  Is it free stone?  I love Stanleys because of the ease of putting up large amounts of food into storage, i.e. drying is easy, canning is easy etc.  But i have lost 3-4 trees over the years to sun scald.  I have transplanted some similar, seed grown varieties, from a neighbor and they have a silvery bark which i think will help reflect and not allow sun scald.  I am in Cache valley too so i am looking to how you have solved these problems.  Thanks.  And if you have any of your nut and fruit tree landraces available.

do you have any more detail on the DB belt clutches that you can share?
