Question

how is winnowing useful to farmers explain briefly​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Winnowing: The process of separating heavier and lighter components of a mixture by wind or by blowing air is called winnowing. This method is used by farmers to separate lighter husk particles from heavier seeds of grain.

Answer 2

Winnowing is the process of separating heavy particles from lighter particles in a mixture with the help of wind.

Explanation:

• We can simply say that this procedure entails releasing the mixture into the air such that the lighter particles are blown away by the wind while the heavier grains fall to the ground for retrieval.
• Using a winnowing fan (a shaped basket shaken to elevate the light particles known as chaff) or a tool are two of these ways.
• Both the winnowing and threshing procedures are now performed by a single machine. The process of separating stalks from grains is known as threshing. Farmers' labour gets much easier with the help of this one equipment, and they are able to complete multiple tasks at the same time.
