A machine for taking the ears off dried corn?

Btw @Farmer Connie what kind of snake is that? Looks like you've got a great husband! Mine catches snakes too.

Nope, not a corn sheller. And they still make those.

A hand cranked wood chipper?

Harmless yellow rat snake. unless of course you have a heart condition. That was a big boy. Ate so much he could not fit back out the tiny hole he breached. They find eggs by accident because they smell rodents. Eggs don't smell. Our pigs attract the rodents with the scattered waste. Unfortunately.

It's hand cranked, but not for wood chips.

Hint: farmers used it mainly in the winter to feed animals.

Used to chop feed? Throw in hay, barley, corn, wheat, etc and grind it up for feed?
