As a young man in school, (10Th Grade) my grandfather would leave school for 3 weeks & hitch a train to Iowa from northwestern Pa. Walked 15 miles to catch the train, brought sack lunch. He would be gone from school for 3 weeks to pick corn. He picked we a group of sometimes 100 men, slept in a bunk house. He use to tell me stories if you were good picker, a ear of corn was always in the air flying to the wagon. The use wheeled wagons with wheels over his head & they had a 4 horse hitched team. IN Iowa all the barns & Building were White. This is why our farm was all white with White board fences, the only one in our county. What I do know is that granddad could pick 3 rows faster than my brother & I could pick one when he was in his 60's.
