One always thinks of windmills grinding corn, and indeed this is a common use - though note that such a windmill would almost invariably belong to a miller or a Lord of the Manor rather than to a farmer. Worldwide, however, the commonest use for a windmill is for drainage - pumping the polders of Holland dry, for example, or irrigating land near rivers. For the last hundred years, they've also done a pretty good job of generating electricity.
