In a little while, I will be the proud possessor of this nifty piece of the agricultural past... although it is brand-new. Hand-operated and very sustainable. I´m feeling so very green!
All I need now to complete the effect is a pair of Carhartt bib overalls ...or, as my lovely and talented missus calls them, "bibberalls."
More practical castellano: it´s very difficult to ascertain with confidence the Spanish word for "corncob" through an internet search. I´m going with "carozo."
Anybody got a good one for "corn stalk"?

I may be mistaken, but I think the cob is the "coronta".
We´re both still, after all these years, such extranjeros!
Sebastian Otero on Facebook nailed them both:
Corncob is marlo.
Cornstalk is mazorca.
I think he just became my English/Castellano Jargon Dictionary!
Love to Cintra y Henry,

Man! I finally have this contraption in my hot little hands.
Talk about a "forever item!" All cast iron and tractor paint ...with a wooden handle grip.
Even with all its gravitas ...I´ve got even weightier plans for this little baby.
More to come...
