Quotations
Jerking the ears and storing them unhusked is a method of harvesting employed in some sections, especially in the South, where the argument usually given in its favor is that if the husks are on the ears they are more protected from the grain weevil.
1916, Carl Schurz Vrooman, Grain Farming in the Corn Belt with Live Stock as a Side Line, page 17
Rice is stored after harvesting in its unhusked form. Husking of rice takes place only for consumption, and not for storage or selling purposes, and the quantity of rice that is husked may vary from family to family.
