In the US, it's typically harvested with a machine called a combine, which pulls the mature ears off the plant, threshes them to get the kernels off the cob, and then transfers the shelled corn to a waiting truck or other conveyance to the storage location. Some farmers still use a cornpicker, which skips the threshing step, and transfers the whole ears to the cart or truck for the trip to the storage unit.

Maize is another word for corn so you would harvest maize just like you would corn
