The whole point is that the way we do it is the way it has been done for thousands of years, and it isn't altogether complicated. In my post-apocalyptic novel The Last Pilgrims, there is a traditional wheat harvest taking place on a farm 25 years after a systemic collapse destroys the industrialconsumer system of the world.When and if the stuff hits the fan, this is the way it will be done.

Friedrich Graue, born in Germany, emigrated to the United States in the late 1840s.Changing his name to 'Frederick', he brought with him knowledge of the craft of waterwheel gristmilling. Settling in what was the farming village and early transportation hub of Fullersburg, Illinois, formerly named Brush Hill, he and William Asche whose brother-in-law, Henry Fischer, built a wind-powered grist
