I actually did this one year with a good sized plot of shell beans. Only thing I would comment on is that in the winnowing step I would RAKE the stems and big stuff out of the grain before winnowing as you would have to do it in a tornado to get rid of the straw. Second, instead of tossing it up in the wind and getting the chaff out I have used two options. ONE is to find a cheap fanning mill on Craigs or TWO is to get out your old box style window fan and set it up on high. Pour the grain across the draft from one bucket into a second. This works extremely well and costs you nothing. Don't worry about yield, making money, or (for that matter) even succeeding. When I did it I just wanted to see how it was originally done and learn something about the field to oven process. It is a good thing. That was many years ago that I did that. I learned a lot. Mostly I learned to appreciate what a wonderful thing a combine truly is.
