In Northeastern Minnesota there is a family run wild rice processing barn. This image shows the processing of the rice after it was harvested and then fed into the the big black drum. A fire is started under the drum and the rice is slowly spun around until it is evenly and perfectly dried. It then is moved into a machine that removes the husks and sifts the sand or other non-rice particles so that the rice can be bagged. All of the wild rice that is processed here has been harvested by local Indians in Ponsford, Minnesota. Delicious!
