You mentioned "cob corn". As a native Iowan, I moved to Wisconsin in '73 and when I first heard that term I could not figure out what it meant.
I once told a WI farmer that it is called "Ear corn" and he pointed to his ears and said "Ears are up here"!!
South of the tundra, as a youth, I always heard of "cob corn" as just "corn". The corn minus the cob is "shelled corn".
Also, I once met a farmer who was from Iowa and he purchased a farm NE of the twin cities in WI. He said he realized he had moved too far north when he rounded a corner of the barn and came face-to-face with a bear!!!
