In today's food system, several fossil calories are needed for every calorie produced. In addition, nutrients from the human cycle – i.e. our manure – no longer find their way back onto the fields. In order to at least partially close these wide-open cycles in food production, we see the use of small threshing and cleaning machines for cereals, oilseeds and legumes as a possible piece of the puzzle.

We have ordered two electric machines: a small stationary threshing machine and a cleaning machine. Unfortunately, delivery times are long, but we hope to receive the machines in early to mid-August. They will be mounted on the PAH trailers, and a solar roof at the DXP will help power them with solar energy – so that we can soon start threshing small fields in the surrounding area.

We are looking forward to getting started in August and hope to see successful tests soon.
