The corn crop

continued

After the wagons were loaded with ears of corn, they were taken to the area of the corn crib to be unloaded.

The wagons were lifted at the rear by a hoist so the corn could more easily be unloaded and scooped into the elevator which put the ears in the corn crib. This appears to be Everett and probably Edmund on the left, with Olof unloading the wagon. The person with his back to the camera may be Art Eckberg, or a hired hand.

Olof Eckberg watches the corn being loaded into the corn crib. A wagon is being unloaded in the hoist in the background. In 1925 he sold 1105 bushels of ear corn at $1.02 per bushel, and kept 1850 bushels for the family's use for the next year.
