Some windmills were made to grind flour others were made for other purposes.
Windmills are much shorter than wind turbines, and usually have many blades. The blades catch more wind causing the windmill to be able to do more physical work. The propeller blades are connected to an axle with gears. The gears are connected to a vertical shaft that runs down the length of the tower and is connected to other mechanical equipment. Windmills do work such as pump water or grind grain, which is why they are a common site on farms where they are used in crop production. They are not built to produce electricity.HOPE THIS HELPED!!!!!!!

Windmills!

Windmills. Learn to Dutch.
Mainly to grind corn and other seeds, turning them to flour.
Traditionally windmills have been used to grind grain for flour. In some places they pump water, for instance to drain low lying land, which is why the Netherlands became famous for windmills.
Windmills are needed usually to grind corn into wheat using wind-power. The main reason of using wind-power is because to grind corn needs a huge amount of energy and it would cost more to grind the corn into wheat than the actual price of the wheat. Nowadays windmills are not used and instead other ways are use to grind corn which are more power-efficient and therefore do not need much power and so can be powered from the grid
I am sure some windmills were used to grind flour, however the majority were used a pumps to keep the land drained.
No. Windmills use the wind for various puposes such as grinding grain, pumping water, and generating electricity.
