threshing machine

A threshing machine is a device that separates grains, like wheat or oats, from their stalks and husks. It works by feeding harvested plants into the machine, which then uses a combination of mechanical, rotary, or drum systems to loosen and remove the edible grains. This process automates what was once done manually, increasing efficiency and reducing labor. Once separated, the grains are collected for storage or milling, while the remaining stalks are expelled. Threshing machines significantly sped up grain harvests, making farming more productive and less labor-intensive.
