Ear Corn Sorting System - Harvest 2021

The last of the ear corn being sorted during the 2021 harvest back in November. Ear corn is not a common crop in this area as many farms tend to combine it off the field and use dryers to dry it down. Corn cribs dry the corn naturally, although requiring the corn to be shelled at a later date. Still, many people prefer ear corn as a means of feeding both livestock and wildlife in the area. This sorting system is probably different to what most farms use, as it does not have your typical round or rectangular corn crib. The crib here was built on the end of a 40'x100' pole barn which is mostly used for hay storage throughout the year. When the barn was built in the early 1990's, the plan for the crib was to accommodate a sorting system that would allow for foreign matter to be separated from the ear corn, in addition to being able to spread the corn throughout the crib without having to move the elevator several times. This was achieved by putting a single door in the middle of the shed and having ramps go down each side from that point. This still wasn't enough to assist in sorting/separating the corn however. Removable panels were installed in the ramps which could be opened and allow the corn to be dropped into different sections of the crib. In addition to the ramps, a pivoting screen at the top allowed for the option to easily switch which side the corn would go down. The original screen was made of a wood frame and corn crib wire, but was later replaced around the early 2010's. A new metal grate was installed which while heavier, made it easier for the sorting process. Once the ear corn comes off the elevator, it falls onto the grate where the shelled corn and other foreign matter fall through, while the ear corn continues on its way down the ramp and into the crib below. The shelled corn on the other hand falls down into a wooden hopper, falls through a pipe, and to a bagging station where it is put into sacks and either ground into feed or put through a cleaner to be sold. While the elevator does have screens in it to remove shelled corn and foreign matter, it does not work as well as the system at the corn crib. For something that was just a personal design thought up in the early 90's, it works quite well. The crib itself holds 2000+ bushels and usually gets emptied in a years time. What corn doesn't get taken off the field in ears, is combined and sent out to be used for ethanol.
