Harvesting

HARVESTING

The cutting of crop after it is mature is called harvesting.
Harvesting is done manually by sickle or by a machine called harvester.
In the harvested crop, the grain seeds need to be separated from the chaff. This process is called threshing.
This is carried out with the help of a machine called ‘combine’.
Farmers with small holdings of land do the separation of grain and chaff by winnowing.
