Barns!

The old and the new.

By the way... These were taken a few weeks ago. Our snow is all gone and I wore my sandals all day today!


I spied another corn crib today... actually an old style one and the structure that has replaced them.
First of all, another vintage corn crib. 

Look and you'll see the familiar structure of it.

Zooming in a little, yes, there's the familiar lattice work that would hold in the long ears of mature corn.


Now... Here's a new style corn storage unit!

I certainly can't call it a crib, because there's nothing crib-like about it. Made of steel and circular, (so the corn doesn't get stuck in the corners, ) these hold corn kernels that have been cut from the cobs by the corn picker.

 These pictures are of the corn being augured out of the storage bins into a truck for transport to the mills or perhaps the Ethinol plant we have over in Aylmer, Ontario. 

Once the corn fills to the top, the truck drives ahead and continues on to the back.
Nothing glamorous or romantic to see, is there? 

But, I thought I'd show you the old and the new!


All of these photos were again shot and loaded directly from my Nikon P90 and then posted without alteration of any kind.
