I have not heard that in years Sam. My parents talked about plowing corn. That meant using a row crow cultivator. I still "pick" corn, that drives son Jake nuts, Every one else combines corn.
Guess I'm showing my age, but I've "plowed" corn, and soybeans too, as well as "plowing" tobacco every year that I grew it, 30 in all. Of course, plowing is cultivating, something that row crop farmers don't do anymore, although many farmers still cultivate their tobacco. People here usually refer to combining as either shelling corn, or cutting beans and wheat.
