Just so people know, BOB & PHILLIS JOHNSON who wrote THE CORN PICKER BOOK also wrote and published THE CORN
CRIB BOOK, I haven't got my crib book completely read yet, but it's well researched and written. I see they're
planning on writing a CORN CHOPPING BOOK soon, looks like it will include choppers and silos.
The CORN CRIB book made me realize what a palace we had for the crib on the farm I grew up on, plenty of
room for 8000 bushel of ear corn, plus storage bins for small grain over the driveway, probably 6000-8000
bushel, just no way to dry it for storage. Had a wooden Kewanee inside elevator with in the floor lateral
conveyor, plus had a 16 or 18 ft by 8-9 ft wife platform scale for weighing out loads of corn, oats, or beans,
or livestock. As our wagons got bigger and bigger instead of pulling them into the crib to unload driving over
the wooden platform we, mostly ME backed them in from the barnyard.
That crib is still standing but I doubt it's being used, three new grain bins were put up 30 years ago
right south and west of the crib and get filled with an auger.
