Corn crib

[tri10]

Anyone familiar with a corn crib like this ?
I've only seen 1 other like it. I'd be curious as to who and when about they were built. We always had wire cribs so based on that I don't know how well anything would dry with holes that small. Thanks.

That allows air circulation so is good as any for ears and better than most for shelled.

They may be small but there are a lot of them!

I have seen metal cribs, but not exactly like that. Instead of holes punched in the metal, they had dimples pressed into the metal, about 3/4" slit at the bottom. Wire was more common, and wood more common still.
