ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A corn sorting and inspection system automatically inspects various characteristics of ears of corn positioned on an endless conveyor and moved past a series of consecutive grading and removal stations, ears of corn not having characteristics in conformance with predetermined standards set at each station are removed from the conveyor system at the end of the particular station, thereby sorting those ears of corn which meet the predetermined standards from those which are considered flawed. The ears of corn are positioned lengthwise parallel to the direction of movement and in a single file on the endless conveyor and passed through each of the individual grading and removal sections, the ears of corn being automatically inspected for smut, short ears, unhusked ears, cob diameter and kernel damage. Each grading and removal station grades or inspects the individual ears as they pass under or through standard L.E.D. scanners which sense certain light reflective characteristics of the ear of corn or length of time required for the ear to pass the sensing device.
