In my part of the South....before we diversified into soybeans, wheat, milo, corn, etc,.......the economy was based on cotton/sharecroppers. When they left the farm(s), there were empty tenant houses everywhere and after we got the barns full, we stacked hay in the empty houses. There would usually be 4-6 rooms and the windows were often gone. UNBELIEVABLY HOT wrestling the bales through those doors and windows. The houses weren't maintained and over time, were torn down or burned; there're mostly all gone. I can count more than 20 that we (my Dad and I) personally tore down on ground we either owned or rented. Sharecropping wasn't a good way of life, but there was always a sadness in tearing the houses down and knowing that they had once been someone's homes..........Our main feed was silage, but we often put up 8 or 10 thousand bales of hay.
