A Brief History of the Manual Corn Sheller
The origins of the corn sheller trace back to the early 19th century, a period when farming relied heavily on manual labor. Farmers needed a more efficient way to separate corn kernels from the cob, a task that was tedious and time-consuming when done by hand. This need for efficiency led to the invention of the manual corn sheller.
Early Innovations
In 1839, Lester E. Denison of Middlesex County, Connecticut, patented one of the first hand-operated corn shellers in the United States. Denison’s design featured a rotary crank mechanism that let users insert an ear of corn into a cylinder. As the crank turned, teeth inside the cylinder stripped the kernels from the cob. This invention significantly reduced the time and effort needed to shell corn, quickly gaining popularity among farmers.
