Taking Down An Old Corn Crib

I help my brother take down an old corn crib today.  He is building grain bin on the spot.  My dad bought the crib from a neighbor around 1965.  It was used to store ear corn until around 1975. Dad quit picking ear corn then because we were off to college and there was no one to unload.  He then  lined it with some heavy sheet metal and used it to store dry grain for a number of years.  Filling worked OK and except for minor damage at the base, it stored dry grain well.  Getting the grain out was no fun.

We used the oldest tractor on the farm, a 1937 Model A John Deere.  It starts by pulling on the flywheel.  We thought the loader would be handy to push it over.  It all worked fine and we got it laying on its side and neither of us or the equipment was messed up.  That is success.  The photo of the crib laying in the field had too much glare.
