Photo 1-FSA-34

Comments

This is a picture of the tenant house and all the out buildings of the W.B. Huffaker farm. The larger barn in the back was built in 1911 and was pinned together with wooden pegs. It still stands today. To the left was an 8,000 bu. bin that my father, Paul Lewis, was putting up. The Morton crib is just to the left that was built in 1947. It was built to store corn on the cob and was converted to shelled grain shortly thereafter. Tornados in 2006 took out the barn next to the tenant house and the crib directly behind the house. The silo still stands as monument to the livestock farm it originally served.
