verb windrows · windrowing · windrowed

  1. transitive To arrange (e.g. new-made hay) in lines or windrows. This cool spell favored the cane shipped to some extent, for if the weather had remained as warm for three or four days as it was Friday, all the cane that was windrowed after the freeze would have been lost and much of it that was windrowed before the freeze would have met a like fate.
