Haj Kheder Farmers Harvested their Wheats

The hardworking farmers of Haj Kheder after enduring a lot of hardships harvested their wheats in mid August. But this is tot the end of the work but there is a long way to go to achieve pure wheat.

When the wheats are ripe , the farmers cut them with a tool called "Dasila" (sickle) then took the wheats to the "kharmengah" (stack) and wait for a windy day. When the day comes, the farmers go to the Kharmenga and throw the wheats in the way of the wind (heap the wheats up) by a tool called "Yashen" to separate the wheats from the straw.
