Farm and Garden Husking on Sawhorses and Wagons
Farm and Garden outlines a labor saving method for husking fodder using sawhorses and a wagon. Readers are advised to use two by four and one by six timbers to build light, stable supports on sawhorses and on wagon steps to hold stalks as they are husked, enabling rapid, continuous work with the wagon positioned to toss in corn as it’s husked. The plan claims reduced effort and no need to move fodder between shocks, by extending supports from wagon and using chains or clamps for stability.
