Scooping Corn
The StoryHard work started early in life on the farm. This boy is scooping off a load of hand-shucked ear corn into a grainery in the barn. It likely would have been used for horse and hog feed. After dinner it would not have been uncommon for this boy and his father to shuck another load before starting evening chores. The hardest part I found about scooping ear corn is getting down to the floor of the wagon where the shovel can slide more easily. Roger DeWitt, Artist
