1949 Picking Corn at Home Place

Ehrke Family Film

Curious if they left the corn in a pile until spring when a custom sheller showed up? I worked for a guy who picked corn until 2000 when he sold the milk cows. After that he bought a new 6 row planter and a started using a combine for the corn. We had corn cribs for all of it. I still pick corn for my steers. I have a sheller if I have extra to sell or to shell for the sheep.

These videos are great where were they shot at Mr Grenzow

In one of the other videos they are hauling cattle to Omaha. My guess would be somewhere within a hundred mile radius of Omaha judging from the truck they were using.

I was the age of that littlest boy in 1949. I would ride in the wagon while Dad was picking corn

Man, that wagon lift is neat. What powered it? People with a hand crank? Corn picking is the best.
