Farm Life of the Past: The Rent Crib

The Rent Crib



This is a small corn crib (the rent crib) that still stands on the old home place where my husband lived in his youth! This crib was used to store the 1/3 of the corn crop, which went to the landlord for rent of the farm.

This is in Limestone Co, Alabama in the farming area known as Mud Bottom, near the banks of Elk River.

Yes, I do too!

And-well this little shed is still standing from when my husband was a kid ( from about 6 onward)so we do know the history of this one.
