mowing
Shearing the grass
Mowing is cutting grass or grain, typically with a blade or machine.
A freshly mowed lawn has that distinctive summer smell.
Mowing can also describe cutting down in large numbers: The machine gun mowed down the advancing soldiers.
A mowing is also a field of grass ready for cutting.
