By the way we built two stacks of rye in Jordan to do some stack threshing this year.

Will this be at the Scott Carver Threshing Show?

Yes, I have not heard yet which day they will be threshing from the stack though as they also have racks in the shed… If I hear, I will let you know. I didn’t get any pictures of the stacks, but the second one ended up quite a bit bigger than the first. I found some pics on facebook of the first completed and the second one being started.
