How should the harvested millet ears be handled?

1. Sun-dry

Sun-dry the harvested millet ears in advance; generally about two days of bright sunshine is enough, and if there is not enough sunlight, they can be dried for a few more days. If cloudy and rainy weather occurs, they can be dried with a dryer.

2. Spread out

Spread a clean cloth on an open area, then spread the sun-dried millet ears evenly on top.

3. Thresh

Use a shovel or a special threshing board for crops to beat the millet ears; at this time, beat repeatedly to knock the millet off the ears.

4. Collect

Turn the threshed millet ears over, then take out the millet from underneath the ears, and use a sieve to remove soil and debris from the millet. Finally, put it into burlap sacks or other containers or receptacles.

Note here that before threshing the millet ears, they must be sun-dried, and when threshing, force must be used.
