Threshing work circle in Hammond

Threshing time in late summer on a Hammond farm, using a traction steam engine and an elevator threshing machine. Oats being fed through the machine to separate grain from straw. Lots of workers, possibly a neighborhood work circle, some bringing in the grain, some feeding it. Robert Rutherford and Daniel Stout are within the men pictured. Circa 1890-1900. Hammond, NY.
