in the key of C Major

He's using the mill to grind ancient wheat grains; he says ants prefer wheat grains that don't have pesticides.
Oh, and those clay pots hanging on the arms of the windmill? They are each tuned to a note in the key of C Major, and you can hear what they sound like in this soundcloud file.
