Abstract:

Jack Macon remembers summers in Randolph County when teams threshed more than four-hundred bushels of wheat per day. During the early twentieth century, threshing was a community event as threshing machines and their crews traveled from farm to farm. Macon describes his family farm operations, equipment, and the process of threshing.
