Visit to an old oat mill

In my holidays I visited an old oat mill in Stöpafors in Värmland, Sweden. Mr Lennart Svahn, showed us how the oat is roasted and produced to a special brand, which in Sweden is called Skrädmjöl and in Finland Talkona. In his mill there was not a single computer, he managed the production using his senses, the nose, his taste etc, like in the old days. We had a nice chat about energy issues, and environment in general. By the way, Lennart cooperates with Oren Lyons who I wrote about in April this year.
