Farm Days Gone By
When the grain was ripe, farmers would gather together to get the threshing done, as they did here in this picture from the Crete Historical Society from around 1899. John Saller, Carl Rinker, William Saller and Ernest Rinne are threshing at the Rinne Farm at the corner of what is now Exchange Street and Interstate 394. Teamster James Williamson is standing on the gearbox.
