I grew up in the southwestern part of Virginia in the Clinch Mountians. We grew a little corn to feed the old milk cow and couple of hogs. Where we grew corn you could not get a corn binder to stay on the side of the hill. You were lucky to get the land plowed with a team of horses. Corn was planted by hand, cut and shocked by hand, and pulled and shucked by hand. The fodder was fed to the cow along with some ear corn. We would cut the corn by hand after the dew fell on it so as not to break the leaves off. It was tied in a bundle with a stalk of corn wrapped around 20-25 stalks. This bundle was placed in a shock with 10-12 other bundles left standing in the field. As the corn was needed for feed we would pull the ears and place in the corn crib. We only had two or three acres of corn because we had no large fields to grow it in. It was a lot of work but was a good life. DH
