Best Answer

The "Corn Husker" state is Nebraska, named for its largest crop. The term "cornhusker" comes from the method of cleaning or "husking" ears of corn by hand, which was common in Nebraska before the invention of husking machinery.

The nickname for the University of Nebraska athletic teams - the "Cornhuskers" - was coined in 1900.
