SW “Ohia” | Dan Loehr,
Corn was cut and tied in the field with a horse drawn or tractor drawn binder. These bundles were then hauled to the silo. A flat-belt driven chopper/blower was setup there. Bundles were thrown onto a conveyor that pulled them in.
I have a binder and always get a kick out of using it. Amazing machine.
Now, the job I have always wondered is filling the corn crib before elevators and engines came around. Some of them are awfully tall for a scoop shovel.

How were the silo's filled days gone by?
