sorghum harvesting

so it is harvest time, and the sorghum has some ripe grain heads,
and they are easy enough to cut off the plant,
but then you have to thresh them, (if you are feeding it to chickens, just give them the entire grain head and they will pick out the seeds)
combine grain harvesters use the method of hitting the grain to separate the seeds from the plant,
but that takes big hardware and you have to set it to the proper speed and clearance, 
I sure can't set that up easy,

but luckily there is a friction method to get the seeds free
here is how you do it
get a bucket and some thick hardware cloth and an old shoe

 add seed head to top of wire cloth

 rub with shoe (or better yet a section of tire mounted to a wood block)

 watch gran fall into bucket and repeat as needed,

 you still have to winnow it, but that is easy
 and
 enjoy another sunset
