That's impressive. It appears that the machine is picking the corn cobs, shucking them, and stripping off the kernels, all automatically. What happens to the naked cobs?

That's pretty cool. I assume the harvester grinds up the cobs and puts them back down on the soil to recycle the nutrients. Pretty efficient, the only thing taken out of the field are the edible kernels, leaving the husks and cobs behind to feed the next crop.

That is pretty much right.

We don't have the grain cart to dump the combine (harvester) on the go. We dump into trucks at the end of the field. Most have the grain cart nowadays.
