Harvest season begins again

Updated: Oct 7, 2019

Harvesting is so important in farmers life. Many kind of Product are hervested are used for different Pland fields.

Harvesting is the process of gathering a ripe crop from the fields. Reaping is the cutting of grain or pulse for harvest, typically using a scythe, sickle, or reaper. On smaller farms with minimal mechanization, harvesting is the most labor-intensive activity of the growing season.

Hervesting Design with Ease

Catch or kill (animals) for human consumption. "the quantity of squid harvested has risen" remove (cells, tissue, or an organ) from a person or animal for experiment or transplant.. Reaping - cutting the mature panicles and straw above ground Threshing - separating the paddy grain from the rest of cut crop Cleaning - removing immature, unfilled, non-grain materials Hauling - moving the cut crop to the threshing location Field drying - leaving the cut crop in the field and exposing it to the sun for drying (optional) Stacking/piling - temporarily storing the harvested crop in stacks or piles (optional) Bagging - putting the threshed grain in bags for transport and storage

Traditional harvesting activities such as field drying and stacking/piling are not recommended because they can lead to rapid quality deterioration and increased harvest losses. Besides these, a variety of other activities can be included in harvesting such as gathering, reaping (gathering standing grain by cutting), bundling, and various forms of transporting the crop and grain.
