Corn Picker and Husker, 1928
New Idea Spreader Co.1928
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
Picking and husking ears of feed corn was a very difficult farm process to mechanize. This machine, manufactured by New Idea in 1928, was the first commercially successful tractor-drawn, two-row picker and husker. It replaced two separate machines (the corn binder and husker-shredder) and made it possible for a single worker to harvest 15 acres of corn per day.
