In my part of the rural Mid-South, corn was "pulled" by hand; "We're gonna pull a couple of loads of corn this morning." Team of mules with a wagon and (optimally) 3 people. Six rows at-a-pass, 2 on each side and 2 behind the wagon. I came along on the tail end of the era and always got/had to pull the 'down' rows. It was tough on your back, though kids were said not to have a backbone and it didn't hurt 'em to stay bent over for hours at a time. The shucks were left on the ears. "Shucking" (removing the shucks)was done at the crib and only what was gonna be fed or ground that day was shucked. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
