they ate all foods they harvested but there main food was corn
In the US, it's typically harvested with a machine called a combine, which pulls the mature ears off the plant, threshes them to get the kernels off the cob, and then transfers the shelled corn to a waiting truck or other conveyance to the storage location. Some farmers still use a cornpicker, which skips the threshing step, and transfers the whole ears to the cart or truck for the trip to the storage unit.
In Ancient Japan the main thing they harvested was rice.

Since ethanol has chiefly been made from corn, this will remove corn from sale from other uses and could drive up prices. Corn requires land to grow which might be used for other crops and generally requires fertilizers because it can deplete the soil of nutrients. Some farmers have managed to rotate corn and soybeans to allow continuous production, but this only provides half of the potential corn production for a given acreage. Other processes have shown some promise to use lower-grade agricultural residues to create methanol or butanol, which have improved energy content.
Some examples of corn-looking fruits include corn on the cob, baby corn, and corn kernels.
As Corn grows it converts the suns energy, carbon dioxide and water into sugars, cellulose and oxygen. The Corn is harvested and a mash/ slurry of sorts is made and yeasts are added to ferment the sugars into alcohol. The resulting fermented mixture consists of water, ethanol and some methanol (from decomposition of some cellulose). This mixture is between 10 and 15% purity of ethanol. Large scale distillation is then employed to increase the purity of the ethanol to near 100%
