When I was a kid,Montcalm County Michigan was the largest pickle producing county in the US. Every little town had a pickle plant at that time. Aunt Jane's was here in Sheridan,just down the road from the old Carnation milk plant that was just torn down. Part of that old pickle plant is a tool and die business now. Some of it was torn down a long time ago. I just tore down one of our cattle barns a year ago last fall that was built from some of the corrugated steel from it. Back then,they were all hand picked by migrant laborers. That had some effect on local culture. It seems like every year,at least one more family that came here to pick cucumbers,would stay. There were some interracial marriages that happened among young folks. Every fall when we started school,harvest wasn't over yet and there would always be a large number of migrant kids who started school with us. Most would leave when harvest was over. The industry is pretty much gone from Montcalm County now,but there are still some grown here in Michigan. It's pretty much all mechanized these days. As far as wooden crates or boxes,I think they were mostly made at local saw mills just like the pallets were when we had a large refrigerator industry here.
