In Reply to: What's corn shucking? posted by rrlund on December 03, 2010 at 07:01:19:
My Amish friends harvest all there corn that way now yet, no pickers. The only way they don't is if they cut the corn with a binder and haul directly to the stationary siler filler that is a combination of chopper and blower. The shucking is removing the ear without the husk on and throwing the ears into a flat bed wagon with low sideboard on one side and a 3' or more higher sideboard called a bang board on the other side and the ears thrown on the wagon by hand. The bangboard is to keep the ears from going of the opposide of the wagon. A good shucker can do a bushel a minute. I never got good at schucking but most of my schucking was husking and putting in a pile every 20-25' to go back later with a wagon to pickup in opening up the fields for the 1 row pull type corn picker. I have picked many a acre with those 1 row pickers and also cut many a acre with a 1 row corn binder but our corn was put in shocks and later ran thru a corn shreader, fodder for cow feed.
