Who built the first mechanical corn picker and what year?

Who built the first mounted picker and what year?

Maybe the first was mounted?
 
A corn harvester is a machine used on farms to harvest corn stripping the stalks about one foot from the ground shooting the stalks through the header to the ground. The corn is stripped from its stalk and then moves through the header to the intake conveyor belt. From there it goes up the conveying system through a fan system, separating the remaining stalks from the ears. The stalks blow out the fan duct into the field while the ears drop onto another conveyor belt. The ears ride the belt and drop into a large moving bucket.

This method is done with both fresh corn and seed corn.

The first mechanical corn harvester was developed in 1930 by Gleaner Harvester Combine Corporation of Independence, Missouri. The unit pulled by a tractor with the unit on the left side.[1]

Edmund Quincy invented the corn picker. He invented it for speeding up the process of harvesting foods like corn and other vegetables. when was it invented Edmund Quincy invented the corn picker in 1850 he designed the corn picker to just harvest corn it wasn't designed to harvest other vegetables
 
Interesting terminology in that write-up about corn harvesters. Last year an Iowa AC Club gave a scholarship to a Missouri boy who explained the workings of an AC picker in that fashion, almost word for word. Even though it was totally wrong, especially about the ears going thru a fan system and then onto another conveyor belt, up into a moving bucket. Plagiarism at its best...not college material.
