How to freeze corn without blanching

What happens here

After harvesting, the farmer drives the tractor to a shaded area near his shed. He positions the tractor's front loader bucket at an ergonomic height for comfortable working. He sets up a wooden cutting board on the edge of the bucket, along with empty buckets to collect the discarded corn husks and a metal trash can. He also prepares a 'skinning or boning knife' (which he jokingly calls a butcher knife) for trimming the corn. The setup aims to reduce bending and make the processing efficient.

Goal: Create an ergonomic and efficient workstation for processing corn.
