2 wire cribs here. Wood tunnel goes up the center. Remember watching them get filled when I was little. They need new floors now. Time and varmints have not been kind. My accountant wants to relocate one and put back in to service or feeding stock and selling squirrel corn

CASE elevators were popular around here. You folded the sides down flat for bales, folded them up for grain, slanted them for ear corn, had a big heavy ear corn hopper attachment that you could back a wagon up to and open the end gate

Two old farm items.
One.....what we called an elevator.....drag chain with cross pieces.......used to put ear corn into a crib and small square hay bales into a barn loft. Brands can remember were Kewaunee, Owatonna, John Deere? Maybe others? Any good working models remaining?
Second: Wire frame corn cribs. Look like a grain bin, but sides made of wire. Used to store ear corn.
Still out there?

On the elevators, Smoker (later new holland) snowco and a whole slew of others made them. If you are looking for them, I'd suggest Lancaster farming ad section. Still a lot in use in the mid atlantic...

Two chains with paddles, used for ear corn, baled hay. I see a few folks use them for firewood.

The farther north and east in dairy country you go, you will more than likely find ear corn bins.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

We just has an Allis Chalmers elevator donated to our club Upper Midwest A/C Club, we restored it and used it at our 2022 show to move wheat.

The Amish in our area still use the wire corn cribs.
Little Giant elevators were popular in our area.
