Title:
Wheat harvest

Image ID:

Description:
All parts of the wheat are used after harvest. Kernels go for livestock feed or processing, and the stalks are left in windrows which are later baled or chopped for use as animal bedding. The part of the stalk left standing as stubble holds the soil to prevent erosion and slows water runoff.
