My dad and grandfather built a new wire corn crib during the fall of 1970 or 1971. It was a round wire crib with a corn sheller drag tunnel formed (depressed) into the concrete. The crib was manufactured in Charles City, Iowa by the Walsh Company. It really looked like a bunch of livestock panels that you connected together with vertical rods. I did attach a sales brochure. The bottom ring was made, then filled with corn. Standing on the corn you built the second ring and filled it with corn. I believe there were four rings and of course the metal roof. I assume you stood up there on the corn and pieced the roof together. I remember riding up to Charles City with my grandfather to pick up the crib. It all fit in the back of a 1/2 ton pickup. I think it held round 3000 bushels of ear corn. The crib was sold and removed long before I bought the farm. I did have to contend with the foundation which was way over built. There were no cracks in the concrete when I removed it. Took a large excavator a couple hours to get it broke up. I remember he got a big chunk broke off and started lifting that chunk up and dropping it on the foundation.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
