They are threshing grain, probably wheat. Wheat was cut in field then tied into small bundles. Sometimes it was allowed to dry in field before threshing, sometimes it was threshed immediately. You always wanted to throw the bundles on to the conveyor with the heads going in first, did a much better job of threshing. With them being close to the barn, they are probably blowing the straw into the loft instead of making a straw stack.
