Thomas Nairne mentioned the practice of cleaning rice in mills turned by oxen or horses, but no such labor-saving machines came into common use. It is notable that Nairne, like many others in South Carolina at the start of the 18th century, continued to view rice in large part as an adjunct to the livestock economy. "Tis very much sow'd here," he wrote in 1710, "not only because it is a vendible Commodity, but thriving best in low moist Lands, it inclines People to improve that Sort of Ground, which being planted a few Years with Rice, and then laid by, turns to the best Pasturage."
