Before crops were harvested by machines, many, especially cereals, were cut by hand using a scythe. After cutting, they were gathered into bunches - a good armful at a time, and tied - those bunches are sheaves. They were then stacked in small piles, usually called stooks, and left to dry completely before piling into very large stacks, called either stacks or ricks. During the winter, the wheat, oats, barley or whatever, was thrashed from the straw.
