A farm implement that pulls the ears of corn from the stalks and husks. The ears are then passed through a "sheller" which strips the kernels from the cobs. Improvements to the combine (often called a 'harvester") do the jobs of both the picker and sheller with the same machine that is used to harvest wheat and sorghum crops.
But, in some specialized farms producing hybrid seed corn, a person will be gathering the ears by hand, so his job description is probably "corn-picker".
