- Fanning Mill, circa 1830 - Fanning mills, one of the earliest farm machines, mechanized the winnowing process which separates the grain from the lighter chaff and straw with a breeze created by the wind or flapping a bedsheet. A hand-cranked fan blows the grain and chaff across vibrating screens. The heavier grain kernels fall through the screens, and the chaff and straw is blown out.

- Fanning Mill, circa 1835 - For centuries, agricultural laborers used flails to remove kernels from grain heads and a winnowing basket and natural breeze to separate grain from chaff. A mechanic built this machine around 1835 to speed up the winnowing process. One person turned a crank to operate the fan and another poured grain through the chute. Heavy kernels fell through while bits of straw blew out.
