the harvest process

The corn, and this goes for soybeans too, is picked by a combine that magically takes each ear of corn, strips it of its husks, shucks each ear of its kernels and collects them in a large bushel bin. When the bin is full, the combine dumps it in a wagon sitting at the end of some rows and brings it to the storage facility, whether it be a storage bin, elevator storage, or an ethanol plant. Many large farms use semi-trucks instead of wagons to haul and transport soybeans and corn from the field.
