The corn crib below is located near Girard.  It is really hard to see in the summer because of the large tree growing out of it.  Yes, that tree is in middle and growing out of the crib in several places.

This barn has a corn crib built in.  I know this is not unusual, but it does not show very often.

I worked in the Bader area today.  In contrast to yesterday, soil moisture was short in some of the topsoil borings.  

I also got a good shot of a purple corn crib.

Today I went to Princeton for a meeting of one of the committees I serve on for the Illinois Soil Classifiers Association.  On the way home, weather was perfect for photography so I did several Corn Crib pictures.  Corn Cribs are a thing of the past and they are disappearing fast.  Since I was in the heart of corn country I had to stop a few time to capture history.
