Aydolette Barn and Thrashing Floor
Industry
5
The Aydolette barn has a double-crib design, with a corncrib on the east end and a crib on the west end for housing stock. Before mechanization, wheat was cut with a scythe, shocked in the field, and then brought to the thrashing floor. There the wheat grains were separated from the chaff, then swept up and put in sacks. This may be the last thrashing floor remaining in the Midwest.
