A Threshing Board

Origin: Ancient agricultural tool employed for the process of threshing.

The moreg consists of a substantial board, typically crafted from wood. Its underside is fitted with numerous short blades. Earlier iterations featured flint blades, while more contemporary models incorporate iron blades.

This implement was harnessed to livestock and dragged in circular motions across the threshing floor. The weight and the action of the blades served to separate the grain from the chaff. The farmer guided the animal with reins while standing atop the moreg.

With the advent of the combine harvester in modern agriculture, the use of the moreg has largely ceased in many countries. However, in some regions, this tool continues to be utilized in traditional agricultural practices.

Traditional Threshing Methods:
