A corn picker is an agricultural machine used to harvest corn leaving the whole ear intact rather than shelling the kernels off like a conventional combine.

The first corn picker was produced in 1909.^[1] New Idea introduced the first commercially successful corn sheller and husker in 1928.^[2] Massey Harris began manufacturing self propelled corn pickers in 1946.

Corn pickers began suffering an extreme loss in sales after a corn head was developed for combines in 1956.
