1939 must have been a bumper year for corn in North Carolina, because I have found lots of great corn shucking photographs, all with big piles of corn. It actually looks like these men are having a good time.

I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30 years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.

They are just thinking how much moon shine they can make with all that corn.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they are listening to what the fellow off stage to the left is saying.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many acres of corn these guys planted.
Here in southern Maryland, we had our first taste of winter weather yesterday- a dusting of snow, 35 degrees for a high and nasty, biting, howling winds. I hope spring returns soon.
These guys look like they came straight from Mayberry!!
ReplyDeleteCold few days here in SW FL, 46 on the way in this morning!! I don't mind...get to use my heated seats!
I like corn.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that was a bumper crop of corn.
Not sure about the stacks of stalks in yesterday's photo, I am (much the pity) too citified, but I think maybe they are destined to become silage. I think I'd be happy too, if I could talk with my buddies while working like I bet these guys are doing.
ReplyDeleteI'm a city girl. However, I think a nice fresh ear of corn goes with anything else one might eat. So, I envy those guys, just a little.
