Corn crib

Although granaries had been used around the world in all cultures who grew grain for food,[2] corn cribs were first used by Native Americans and then quickly adopted by European settlers.

As a result, at least some Native groups abandoned the corn crib and buried food in caches.

The basic corn crib consists of a roofed bin elevated on posts.

Most of the larger designs have an open space in the middle for accessing corn and promoting airflow.

[4] Today a typical corn crib on many farms is a cylindrical cage of galvanized wire fencing covered by a metal roof formed of corrugated galvanised iron.
