corn picker

In an Amish field, I saw a horse-drawn one-row corn picker.

This corn picker became the direct ancestor of the famous Oliver cornpicker.

Later, tractor-mounted corn pickers harvested the corn.

During the 1920s, the Nichols and Shepard Company developed a successfully functioning corn picker.

Kokomo is also home to the first mechanical corn picker which was developed by a man named John Powell in the early 1920s.

Examples included front-end loaders, belly mowers, row crop cultivators, corn pickers and corn planters.

The school teams are named the "Cornjerkers", a term describing farm workers who picked corn prior to the use of mechanized corn picker implements.

Stump, the park's burned-out, one-handed owner (he lost the other in a corn picker and bought the trailer park with the proceeds from a lawsuit), likes it that way.

In 1894, Avery introduced a mechanical corn picker, which tractor expert Jack Norbeck described as 'so different and unusual that at the time farmers wouldn't buy it because it would put too many people out of work.'

That morning, as I often do when I'm on the road and have an extra minute, I dropped by the local hospital to visit children, and as it happened, there was one, a 12-year-old boy named Tommy, who had lost his left hand in a corn picker.
