In Reply to: Fancy Corn Crib posted by Ultradog MN on May 01, 2016 at 17:33:49:
Like Flying Belgian said cement block cribs do not allow the corn to dry down well. First thing I think of when I see a cement crib is MOLD. My neighbor got sick from the mold dust 30 years ago while shelling out a cement crib and now he gets sick from mold very easy. We had a crib with a Morton bucket elevator. The drag was in a pit in the floor but the ceiling was too low for us to raise our bigger wagons far enough. Originally there was 'dump blocks' or ramps in the floor spaced apart the right distance for high wooden wheel wagons. With the wagon parked on the ramps a wheel was turned that tipped the back of the ramps down into depressions in the floor while the front of the ramps raised above the floor. The bucket elevator was powered by a shaft that went out the end of the crib. A tractor and speed jack sat outside the crib to turn the shaft. That elevator always pulled hard for some reason. We had to stake down the speed jack so it wouldn't flip over.
