Corn Cribs for Safe Storage on Farms
Farmers should prepare crib room for corn and keep the corn house separate from other buildings to deter rats. Build on durable posts with movable steps, sides either perpendicular or slanting bottom, a roof overhang, and raise the corn about a foot on loose flooring. A temporary crib can be made with cross pieces and boards to shed rain.
