Why is everyone wanting to windrow it, or shock it, or worry about carrying it inside to dry, etc.

Shocks went out of style in the 40's when they invented combines. Back then they had to haul it, plant and all to the thresher. Since then they bring the thresher to the field.

Unless you let it get way over dry, it isn't going to shatter that much. Let it dry naturally, standing, to 15 or 16%. Cut it one day, then maybe thresh it out a few days later. The shocking and windrowing is just extra work.

The old Clipper fanning mills are still out there to be found. I have our old Clipper 2B, with all the screens still in our barn. I have seen them in restraunts used for decoration. But they can be had.

Or, if you got into it in a big enough way, buy an old pull type combine. Maybe find an old AC 66 setting in a shed. I know there are two or three in Marbel Hill Mo. in a shed.
