Today and through the weekend we are harvesting corn as it was in days gone past. This stone barn was built in Philly Nebraska in 1874 and is the center point of our harvest celebration.
In the field to the left are second third and forth grade children from several surrounding schools picking the corn and throwing the ears into the wagon.

This team is walking in a circle powering a line shaft, transfering the power to a belt shieve that finally runs a corn sheller They actually have to step over the line shaft on each revolution.
