By beating bundles of wheat, the farmer is trying to free the grain seeds from the stalks and this process is known as threshing.
Grains are attached at the weakest links of the stalk. As bundles of stalks are beaten, grains detach from the stalk and fall apart.
Threshing can be performed manually or with the help of machines.
