Harvest Tools & Machinery:

Small grains such as wheat must be cut (reaped), knocked off the straw (threshed), and separated from the chaff (winnowed) before being consumed by humans.  From the reaper to the threshing machine, American farmers have boosted production and reduced labor by relying on machines to do this work.
