Preserving and Celebrating Iowa's Farm History

Picking up Bundles - 2017

 
One of the things we do each year to prepare for Carstens Farm Days is to cut the wheat and pick up bundles.  While this does involve some labor from our volunteers, it is really fun to see this whole process.  The volunteers get together to pick up the bundles and to exchange stories about the good old days.

For an explanation of how this process works, please see our Picking Up Bundles - 2010  page.



T
his year, we were joined by a group who purchased some of our wheat to be threshed during Logan's Sesiquicentennial which will be held in Logan, Iowa on September 2 - 4, 2017.  Please be sure to check out their Facebook page for more information.

 





Thanks to Jason Spoore for sharing the video and the pictures below that he took with his drone at the farm.
