corncrib

Slatted grain bin

A corncrib is a ventilated structure for storing and drying ears of corn.

The slatted walls allow air circulation while keeping out animals.

Traditional corncribs are narrow buildings raised off the ground, a familiar sight on American farms: The old corncrib behind the barn was falling apart.
