Answer 2

$\bold\red{Harvesting}$

Cutting and gathering of crops, after maturation, is known as harvesting. Fruits and vegetables are plucked with hands. Harvesting of crops, like wheat and rice, is done with the help of sickles.

After harvesting, grains are separated from the cut crop. This process is called threshing. This can be done manually or by a machine called thresher. In large fields, a farm machine, called combine, is often used. This machine can do both harvesting and threshing simultaneously.

After threshing, grains are separated from the chaff. This is known as winnowing. The mixture is dropped on the ground from a height. The heavier seeds fall vertically down, while lighter chaff is blown away to a distance by the wind.
