Bill Robinson Jr., Wichita, prepares to thresh wheat as Nathan Gardner, McLouth, adjusts the belt that connects the John Deere tractor to the separator. Gayle McDonald, boiler inspector from Holton who participated in the bee, said tractors were used to power the threshing machines this year, rather than the old steam engines. That's because, he said, in Kansas the boilers have to have been inspected and approved before they can be used in public.
Ryan Bailey, McLouth, oversees the threshing machine Friday morning at the 49th Annual McLouth Threshing Bee. Nathan Gardner, pictured on the wagon, has just finished throwing wheat into the machine, which separates the grain from the straw. The threshing bee continued through Sunday.
