In Reply to: Corn Crib Question posted by Kerwin on October 16, 2017 at 18:31:25:
Thanks for all of the info. My reason for asking is that I put up a double corn crib with the center alley several years ago for ear corn. My original design on the roof was three hatches down each side above each crib area for filling using an elevator. Unfortunately with the steel roof there is leakage around the top of each hatch (water piles up above the hatch and gets in around the flashing). I'm going to rework the roof to either use three hatches along the roof line or a central cupola setup; still filling using an elevator. I like the looks of the central cupola, but need to figure out a way to route the corn to allow more level filling along the length of the crib...thus my question. Two things are complicating the situation, the rafters I used have cross braces that don't give me a lot of open space above the cribs and one end of the left crib side is a granary for oats...so even if with a central cupola filling each crib side I would still need to be able to get oats to the granary at the end of that crib. Hopefully that description makes sense. Thought about reworking the rafters to get me more room above the cribs for swinging a chute around. Or just putting in a roofline hatch for the oats and use center cupola for corn. That way I wouldn't have to move the elevator during corn harvest. Hindsight is always great...Would have gone with a gambrel hip roof for more upper space but oh well.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
