Question

What is threshing? Explain the ways in which threshing is commonly done.

Answer 1

The process of beating harvested crops to separate the grains from the stalks (the dried stems) is called threshing. Threshing is of two types: manual threshing and threshing using machines.
Manual threshing is done by holding a bundle of crops and beating it on a hard surface. This process loosens and separates the grains from the stalk. Sometimes, threshing is also done by crushing stalks under the feet of bullocks.

Threshing can also be done by using machines such as the combine harvester.
