Windmill woes

I just built my first ever windmill (phew!) and I can't figure out how to load grains into it. I went to the 3rd floor and right clicked on the thingy, and I expected a container window of some sort to pop up, but it didn't do anything.
Then I tried picking up some corn with the cursor and right clicking that onto the thingamabob on the 3rd floor, but nothing. I even threw some on the floor for good measure.
Can anyone help me out?

You will still use the "Mill Flour" function like you do with a grinder after you right click the top. Be careful though to only grind one type at a time or it will replace whatever was ground previously with the new product.

I was pretty sure it just never added any new kind of flour to the bottom unless it was the same as what was already there. But yeah, don't mix is the lesson here.

It may be that. I just know I learned my lesson on day one of owning a windmill because I lost about 200 ears of various cereals.
