A harvesting machine for use in harvesting corn from corn plants, the harvesting machine comprising:

• a frame;
• at least one assembly configured to move the harvesting machine along a ground surface;
• an arm coupling the at least one assembly to the frame;
• and
• at least one row unit coupled to the frame and operable to remove ears of corn from corn plants;
• wherein the frame is disposed above the at least one assembly.

A method for harvesting corn from corn plants, the method comprising:

• measuring a moisture content of corn kernels on ears of corn plants in a field;
• identifying the ears of the corn plants for harvesting when the moisture content of the corn kernels of the corn plants satisfies a threshold moisture content;
• moving a harvesting machine to the identified corn plants;
• and
• removing, by the harvesting machine, only the ears of corn from the corn plants in the field satisfying the threshold moisture content while not removing ears of corn from other corn plants in the field in connection with moving the harvesting machine to the identified corn plants.
