Sometime around Labor Day every year when I was growing up, a threshing bee was held with antique equipment in the Lakeview community of Todd County, South Dakota, on the Epke farm. This was about 10 miles north of the town of Crookston, Nebraska. People brought their restored (or just still running) antique tractors and other farm equipment, including an old belt-driven threshing machine that took its power from the power takeoff wheel of a tractor. In this photo taken by my father, grain is being fed into the intake of the threshing machine, and you can see the drive belt.
