The process of separating husk from graun by the farmers, is called winnowing.

They make use of the property that husk is very light as conpared to the grains. On a windy day, the farmer stands on a high platform and allows the mixture of grain and husk to drop from a flat pan slowly. The wind carries the husk forward and the grains fall vertically downward. Thus, two separate heaps, one of the grain and other of the husk, are formed.
