Dad never got a corn sheller. Ours was shelled at the feed mill, as we needed it. We had a corn binder, and a grain binder. After we cut it, we had to set it up to air out. We hauled it up to the barn when we had the thrasher come with the crew, and thrashed the wheat, and oats. Straw went into the barn loose.

We usually grew yellow eye beans, except for one year that I remember we grew cranberry beans.

Forked the manure into a wheel barrow out of the gutters and box pens to a pile, then forked it back into a spreader in the Spring. I guess that's why it took so long to do anything compared to now days.
