Threshing
by Dr. Viktor Pratscher
Translated

On the occasion of the
completion of the threshing work the workers went singing through
the village pulling their threshing machine decorated with flowers.
There was no special harvest festival. The cold midday meal in the
vineyard tasted excellent. The effect of the many grapes and cider
first comes later. Instead of the former stomping on the grapes
(Treten (Trippeln), today these are ground and pressed.
