"Why is it called a combine?"
Because it combines lots of jobs into one machine: cutting the crop, separating the grain, and cleaning it.
"What does it do with the grain?"
It stores the grain in a tank, then it can unload it into a truck using a long tube called an auger.
"Why is the front so wide?"
The wide front helps it cut a big swath of crops at once, so harvesting goes faster.
"Can it harvest corn?"
Yes! Farmers can change the front attachment so the combine can harvest different crops like corn or wheat.
