Not really familiar with that term; I guess shelled corn might be a term.
Corn is dry; it is stored at around 15% moisture. Harvested as dry as possible, then is normally dried with LP or natural gas fired dryers immediately after harvest.

If you see dry ears sold in grocery stores for squirrels to eat; that is field corn. The same corn farmers harvest; but farmers would run it through a combine in the field and separate the corn from the cob.

Thanks..I had to ask, and am a little ashamed of the reason. I grew up around dairy farms. When we were kids we stole some big beautiful ears from a farmer's field.

They would NOT cook, and you could not chew the stuff. So it must have been for the cows.
