The way they detassel seed corn in mid-WI is this, They first use a machine on tall stilts that passes over the top of the corn, it's usually a 4 row. It has 4 sets, of 2 rubber rollers that are tight together running in opposite directions that pulls the tassel (and some of the top leaves) up and shoots them out the top. then they still have to follow up with crews that pick the few tassels the machine misses. I used to do this and it is hard work,but one day I made $300 just going over some rows that another crew did that didn't pass inspection.
