C'mon farmers, I need you to use the right term :-)

It's called "Shucking Corn!"

My father went to Iowa to shuck corn, for quite a few years, every fall (before my time) sent part of his earnings home to help pay for the family farm, which my sister still lives on.

Now I google it and it looks like nowdays "shucking," just means to take the husk off, on your front porch.

Oh, look, there's a video of hand shucking:

They call it Corn Husking or Corn Picking.

But at least they’re doing it with a horse drawn wagon.

With a tall side on the far side, easier to throw the ear in.

My dad was much faster than this guy, I saw him do it some, when I was young.

Someone should make a video of an old-timer shucking corn fast.
