You glean fields, as in pick up what the mechanical things missed, here in Idaho they do it in onion, potato, sugar beet and corn fields. Some farmers will also give away dried ears of corn for your animals.

That's the "ears-pickers".
As opposed to the "nose-pickers."

I grew up in a farm community and I always heard them called "cullers"

Your very first answer is correct. In past times they kept what they gleaned. I don't know about now.
