Combine
Mix into one
A combine is a large agricultural machine that harvests crops by performing multiple tasks simultaneously: cutting, threshing, and separating grain from chaff.
The modern combine evolved from 19th-century horse-drawn models, with the first self-propelled versions appearing in the 1930s.
Combines are equipped with specialized headers tailored to specific crops, such as wheat, corn, or soybeans.
They often include advanced GPS systems for precision farming.
The combine moved methodically through the wheat field, leaving neat rows of straw behind.
