Windrow

A windrow is a row of cut (mown) hay or small grain crop.

[1] It is allowed to dry before being baled, combined, or rolled.

For small grain crops which are to be harvested, the windrow is formed by a swather which both cuts the crop and forms the windrow.

By analogy, the term may also be applied to a row of any other material such as snow, earth or materials for collection.

[1] Windrow composting is a large scale vermicomposting system where garden and other biodegradable waste is shredded, mixed and windrowed for composting.
