I did get a really nice Antique Seed Cleaner that with a few repairs will be functional and will provide a great deal easier task to cleaning the chaff out of Corn or wheat or Sorghum grain. It has an electric motor but I can adapt that to a different power source. There are some pictures of it below as I was lifting it up into the loft of the barn so it wouldn't get wet with last nights rain.
The barn is continuing to progress ever so slowly. I am very much a novice at building (I'm sure most could see) but that is not going to stop me. It just may take a little longer. Below are a few pictures to update you all on its progress.

There is the old info (you knew I was building a barn).
Here is some new info. I am building a new website. It will be a blog like this one only it will be a larger scale so I can use it as a website and a blog. Also I have an online store I am building. None of this is finished. I only am telling everyone about it to get feedback on the layout and ideas about inclusion of features. The blog is to be a radically different site than this one with a mission of education rather than ranting and raving all the time.
You can view it here: Myerstown Family Farm
I will make a final posting when I am ready to switch over that will let everyone know I have moved over. But for now this site will continue to be used.
Take care
Hope you enjoy...and give me some feed back if you can.

Oldtime,
I just found your blog about two weeks ago. I looked at your previuos posts and videos. You seem like a very talented person with varied intests. Bloging about your daily life or just any old subject is most interesting to me. I to live in Missouri about 50 minutes from St. Louis. One of my favorite blogs is Homesteading Hickory Hills, who is also a missouri resident. I enjoy reading about local(Missouri) bloggers just to see what others around the state are up to. I believe your videos with a little more content could be something that would appeal to a wide audience. Public television might even be interested. Good luck with your lastest endevor, even though i think you might need a little more property to do all that you mentioned. Hope you don't mind the input.
