Corn - stored in cribs

yorklib says: Something has been nibbling the kernels exposed between the slats of the crib. Hand-picked corn will have few if any husks left on the ears -- mechanical pickers will always leave husks on some ears.

yorklib says: Wire cribs with light weight framing to hold up the empty crib between seasons. As this photo shows, the structure is easily damaged when the crib was empty, and the damage leads to structural failure.

yorklib says: I'm curious why this crib designed for regular re-use does not have a roof. Horzontal cross-brace wires have formed gaps in the pile as the contents gradually compressed.

yorklib says: The weathered boards and the exposed structure are interesting. It isn't clear if the contents of the crib are whole ears or just a pile of cobs and husks.

yorklib says: The photo shows the elevator to get ear corn to the top of the crib, and the ladder the farmer uses to reach the roof ladder to open and close the top cap. The autumn colors on the foreground tree make the photo visually appealing as well.

yorklib says: Other than lots of butt and tip shelling and a few empty cobs, this is pretty typical of how ear corn stored in a crib. The air spaces between the ears and the open sides of the crib allow sufficient air flow so the ear corn would dry down during storage.

yorklib says: The crib in this historic photo has side walls formed of wire and slat "snow fence" and planks. It looks almost empty -- you can see the back side through the front slats.
