A shell corn loss inhibiting device enhances shell corn collection efficiency by catching and re-circulating fallen corn back towards a collecting auger of a combine. The device includes a corn head of a combine including a pair of spaced dividers, a gap therebetween, and a collection auger. Each of a pair of nozzles is coupled to an associated one of the spaced dividers and angled inwardly towards the gap, downwardly through the gap, and rearwardly towards the collection auger. A blower is coupled to the combine urging a flow of air out through each of the nozzles to urge the shell corn towards the collection auger before the shell corn can pass downwardly through the gap.
