Combine Harvester Harvesting Wheat, Forncett, Norfolk, England, UK

Combine Harvester Harvesting Wheat, Forncett, Norfolk, England, UK.The name derives from its combining four separate harvesting operationsâreaping, threshing, gathering, and winnowingâto a single process. Among the crops harvested with a combine are wheat, rice, oats, rye, barley, corn (maize), sorghum, millet, soybeans, flax (linseed), sunflowers and rapeseed. The separated straw, left lying on the field, comprises the stems and any remaining leaves of the crop with limited nutrients left in it: the straw is then either chopped, spread on the field and ploughed back in or baled for bedding and limited-feed for livestock.
