🌾🏭 At Mount Vernon, George Washington implemented a revolutionary milling system by Oliver Evans. This automated process could produce 5,000-8,000 lbs (2,300 - 3,600 kg) of flour daily without manual handling. The "hopper boy" rake solved a critical cooling problem at the time: preventing flour spoilage.
