corn crib
Slatted grain bin
A corn crib is a ventilated structure for storing and drying ears of corn.
The slatted walls allow air circulation while keeping out animals.
Traditional corn cribs are narrow buildings with gaps between the boards, a common sight on American farms: The old corn crib stood empty behind the barn.
