# Werkzaamheden in de Wieringermeer in de graandrogerij

In the Wieringermeerpolder, there are not yet enough barns to store the entire grain harvest. Therefore, when the weather is dry, the grain must be threshed directly on the field. This can only be done in dry weather. However, the humidity has affected the quality of the grain. The moist grains are taken to a grain dryer where they are dried with hot air and thus become usable for making bread. SHOTS: - shots of the flooded Wieringermeer in the last days of the war and the havoc after it was re-drained; - farmer ploughs the land; - waving ears of corn in the sun; - soggy, wet, rained out arable land; - farmers in the fields put bundles of grain on a horse and cart; transport it to a threshing machine to be threshed; - ext. and int. of the drying plant with working machines; - a worker puts away a filled burlap sack with grain; - pan about stock of filled burlap sacks.

Not offered: its uploader or archive marks it public domain, and nothing the site holds bears that out (its record gives no year, or a year from 1978 on, which no US term has left), so where it is free is not known. Unclear is not offered.
