People don't know how right this man is, but they're fixing to.
My dad grew up in west TN in the 50s and 60s, and they always had a corn crib. They had cows and would pick the corn with a one or two row corn picker. They would store it in their corn crib and then take it to town to have it ground up, kernel and cob together to feed the cows with. They loaded the corn up into the crib with an elevator that hooked to the PTO on their tractor and had a hopper to catch the corn that came out of their wagons.
One farm I grew up around still used this type of corn crib. It was the job of us kids to crawl up into the top of the crib to get corn out for the adults. We simply fit better through the small door at the top of the pile. There were snakes in the crib, but they'd go to the bottom corners when they felt us walking around on top of the pile. You could hear them but seeing one was rare & we weren't afraid of them. I suppose that those childhood experiences in the corn crib are the reason I still try to keep a black snake or two around my barns today. There is no better way to keep the mice & rat population under control than a snake.
Outstanding video. Please keep up the great work preserving our heritage.
Excellent video!
Looks like a place I know in Burnsville NC
This is neat. I’ve never heard of this before but I’ve been wanting to get some kind of silo for storing corn. I’m definitely going to do some more research on these.
Wonderful video. I plan on building a small corn crib one day. Did they treat the corn in any way to keep weevils and moths out? Weevils and moths will decimate my bulk corn in a few months.
Why must human weeds have inain background music playing in videos???? Is it they can't bare to think or be alone in their own minds
