windrower
Cuts and rows
A windrower is a farm machine that cuts crops like hay or grain and arranges them in long rows called windrows for drying or later collection.
The windrows allow air to circulate around the cut material before baling or combining.
Also called a swather: The windrower moved through the alfalfa field in the early morning.
