Relics of the past

Corn cribs must be seen as critical to the economic development of Illinois.  They come in many styles, sizes and shapes.  In most cases they are abandoned.  In some cases they are under utilized storage buildings.  It is very rare to find one still used to store corn as the last photo shows.  Ground ear corn is still a very good feedstuff for feeding out beef.  The top two photos were taken last week on my way home from Peoria.  The bottom one was taken 2 or 3 years ago.
