Field corn, what you call feed corn is usually combined when the stalk and leaves are dry, meaning the plant is dead, and the grain is 15.5% or less in moisture content. An exception to that is that the feedlots around here (Kansas) will accept high moisture corn, about 25% moisture to mix in their rations. The other method is to cut and shred the stalk and ear in the field with a silage cutter and haul it directly to the feedlots where it is stored in a trench silo. So, since I have no clue what they do in CA, I don't know what kind of harvest you are going to see, provided it is field corn, probably a combine. Corn picking, where the ears are picked and stored intact is non-existent around here.
