Thresher is the skill that dwarves use when given the labor plant processing. "Processing plants" actually covers 4 different jobs done at a farmer's workshop.

Using Thresher to make thread can be done without any container to store the results in, but other plants require a specific container to hold the resulting product:

• Process plants:

Turns pig tails into pig tail thread or rope reed into rope reed thread. These products produce seeds as well.

• Process plants (to Bag):

Turns quarry bushes into quarry bush leaves and produces rock nuts. Five leaves are produced per quarry bush.

• Process plants (to Barrel):

Turns sweet pods into dwarven syrup and produces sweet pod seeds. Each sweet pod produces five units of syrup.

• Process plants (to Vial):

Creates extracts from certain plants. Kobold bulbs make Gnomeblight and Valley herbs make Golden salve. Requires a glass vial. Currently there is no use for these extracts other than as export goods.

If a dwarf's highest skill is Thresher, then that will also be their profession, but if some (unknown) level of other farming skills are mixed in, they will be known as a Farmer.
