The video shows how an organic farmer from Navarra separates his yield after growing a mixture of wheat and lentil. He uses a screening equipment to separate firstly the wheat and afterwards the lentil from impurities. Finally, to remove stones from lentils a gravity separator is utilized. The post-harvest grain separation was a big problem in the organic sector in the region of Navarra. This farmer, the owner of the equipment and an INTIA technician set up the equipment.
