Blacksmithing Basics – New session added on March 27. The class is designed to give someone with little or no metal working skills as a HAY - LIVING HISTORY FARMS, IOWA Hay is a grass that has been cut, dried, and stored for animal feed. Many different kinds of plants can be used as hay, but in Iowa today, alfalfa and clover are the most common. As Americans moved west onto the Great Plains in the 19th century, they would often use the prairie grasses that were growing there to feed their livestock.TRAINING NEW OXEN
Training starts when they are only a few weeks old, as they learn to be comfortable around people. The first step in an ox’s training doesn’t involve any work at all, but there is still a lot for the young calves to learn. They are taught to wear a halter and how to walk calmly on a lead rope. GRAIN HARVEST AND THRESHING TIME Grain Harvest and Threshing Time. July 28, 2015. Summer is slipping away and it is time to start harvesting small grains on the farm! Today when we think of important crops in Iowa, we think of corn and soybeans. We forget how important grains, such as wheat and oats, were to farmers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. BEYOND SAUERKRAUT: A BRIEF HISTORY OF FERMENTED FOODS Humans have been controlling the fermentation process for thousands of years, primarily in the form of fermented beverages in the earliest days. Evidence of a fermented alcoholic beverage made from fruit, honey, and rice found in Neolithic China dates back to 7000-6600 BCE. Wine-making dates to around 6000 BCE in Georgia, in the Caucasusregion
