Solution

Threshing is a method of separating grain from the stalk.
The reaped crop is beaten so that the grain is separated from the stalk and grain's outer cover called husk or chaff is loosened. Usually, threshing is done by beating the reaped crop by sticks and allowing animals like bullocks and buffaloes to tread the crop. In case of big fields, threshing is done with the help of machines called threshers.
