Harvesting Wheat

The beginning of the Spring crop harvest has begun in Morocco. For the most part, I've been told that families cut their wheat or other crop, and then men with threshing machines come around to the villages (similar to America at the beginning of the 20th century) and thresh the wheat. Otherwise, I've heard in some areas, they use 5-6 donkeys lined together around a pole and march them around in a circle over the wheat. On the previous, my facts could be incorrect and I look forward to seeing this in the future.
