BOB & PHYLLIS JOHNSON who wrote The CORN PICKER BOOK released the CORN CRIB BOOK about 2 years ago. And YES, the earliest corn cribs were small cribs that size and style. The horse drawn wagons had tailgates that folded back and down to stand on and toss earcorn up thru the openings on the tops of the crib walls. No elevators made to elevate ear corn for many decades. I really need to finish reading my copy. It's the Johnson's best book in my opinion.
The 160 acre farm I grew up on had a huge crib. We only had to store ear corn outside one year of the 20 years we lived there, around 8000 bushel of ear corn went in that crib every fall to be ground for cattle feed. And there were over-head grain bins over the driveway the whole length of the crib, probably could have held 6000-8000 bushel of small grain, oats, soy beans, shell corn. Had a Kewanee inside vertical elevator that had an under the concrete floor drag elevator to unload wagons into. Also had a large platform scale on south end about 8-9 ft wide by 20+ ft long, can't remember how high the scale could go, but the wood platform would scare me to drive over it with a 6000# tractor. The last few years I hauled in oats & corn Dad made me back into the driveway from the north end half the length of the crib. HEY! I got good at backing 4-wheel wagons with a tractor with no powersteering, could get all the way to the elevator without having to push the clutch in. If the Super H had been a 300 or 350 with a TA it would have been easier still.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
