Threshing: it is done by beating the sheaves against the wooden bars to separate the grains from the stalks. Winnowing: it is the process of removing the unwanted husk from the grains. It is done by pouring the grains from a height on a windy day when the grains fall on the ground and the chaff is blown away.

A type of tool or weapon in the middle ages?
Many different tools were used by peasant farming labourers, including the threshing flail. Threshing was an extremely lengthy and hard manual job during the winter months, part of the sequence of processes the grain had to go through before it was taken to the miller. Wheat and other grain crops were stored in a barn after the harvest, still tied in sheaves. Ploughing and sowing the next crop was the priority while the weather was still reasonable; threshing often took place in the depths of winter when working the land was impossible. Teams of men and boys would take rakes and flails to the barn. The work was so hot that they often stripped to their braies (underwear). The boys would spread out some of the crop on the floor and the men would work together to thresh or "thrash" it with their flails - knocking out the important kernels of wheat along with the chaff. The boys would then rake away all the straw before spreading out more of the crop - the women would sweep up the wheat and chaff into winnowing baskets for the next part of the process, which had to be done outside in a breeze. The threshing flail in England traditionally had an ashwood handle and a blackthorn "beater", hinged together with leather straps or metal rings. See links below for images of the threshing flail:
