It's true, I did read that about combines.
Mother Earth Living said 4x4' would give you enough fiber to make a basket and enough seeds to make one batch of crackers. You probably read that article too, LOL.
It also said that if you harvest for the best quality fiber you don't get many seeds. I had pondered maybe harvesting in two batches, one to get fiber and the other to get seeds. Might be worth an experiment?

I got an email from the educational director at a local (out here) historic site who said her equipment was made from plans she bought from here, and her son had done the construction to those specifications. That's one set of the tools Jean offered to take me to see, so I'll do that, for sure. I should go see that historic site anyway, it sounds like it's up my alley, LOL.
