Corn shredding
Carroll County Antique Tractor and Machinery Club put on a corn shredding demonstration at the Carroll County 4-H Fair. Pictured on the machine are Shawn Ashby (left) and Louis Cassens. Whole bundles of corn are fed into the machine. It takes the ears out, which are elevated onto a wagon, and blows the fodder out a shuck pipe. This machine was likely used around 1920. It was replaced by pickers and shellers, and eventually by combines. The machine was donated to the club by Pat and Charlie Meade. Comet photo by Jennifer Archibald
