Dehusking.
The Threshing Machine was invented by Andrew Meikle, who was a Scottish Mechanical Engineer. The machine was invented in 1784 for the purposes of separating grain from stalks and husks of plants.

Winnowing is the process of separating grain from chaff or husks by using air currents. This is typically done by pouring the mixture from a height so that the lighter chaff is blown away and the heavier grain falls back into a container. It is a traditional agricultural method used to clean and separate grains after harvesting.
Another name for a grain husk is 'hull'.
A corn dehuster is a machine used in the processing of corn to remove the outer husk or shell from the kernels. This equipment is essential in the grain milling industry, as it prepares corn for further processing into products like cornmeal or animal feed. By efficiently separating the husks, a dehuster helps improve the quality and usability of the corn kernels.

The mass of husks separated from the seeds of cereal grain during threshing is known as chaff. Chaff is the dry, scaly protective casings of the seeds that are removed during the threshing process, leaving behind the desired edible grains.
Bran is the husks of cereal grains. Wheat is the name of a cereal plant, or the name for the grain.
The invention of the thresher revolutionized farming by significantly increasing the efficiency of separating grain from stalks and husks. This mechanization reduced the labor required for threshing, allowing farmers to process larger quantities of grain in less time. Consequently, it helped boost agricultural productivity and contributed to the rise of commercial farming, ultimately leading to increased food supply and economic growth in rural areas.
Byproducts of grain plants can include straw, husks, bran, and germ. These byproducts can be used in various ways such as animal feed, compost, or in food processing to extract additional nutrients.
The separation of grain or seeds from the husks and straw. In olden times this was done by beating the grains with sticks or some other object, now it is all done by machinery.
