After cutting barley, oats, or wheat with the windrower, the grain is still on the stems. This material is piled right behind the windrower. The pile is called a windrow.

The stems are raked together and baled into straw for livestock bedding. After hay is raked together, it is baled into hay for the cow's food in the winter.
