Winnowing is a traditional seed cleaning method that uses wind to separate heavier, viable seed from lighter chaff, often done by tossing the harvest with a fan or basket so lighter material blows away while heavier grains falls back for collection. Today, tools like the Winnow Wizard, created by Markael Luterra, use controlled airflow to do the same work with greater precision, saving hours while honoring a time-tested process. The smaller the seed, the more adjustment the process requires. Lar
