  Those are haystacks, not corn shocks.

  Thanks for your comment. I looked at the tiff image for the picture at : memory.loc.gov/master/pnp/fsac/1a33000/1a33800/1a33822u.tif It seems to show a cornfield and stacks of corn plants, so the caption is probably accurate.

• pgcosmin said:

  Definitely that is a stack of maize plants. The cattle eat the dried leaves during winter. The type of agriculture practiced there in the 1940s is strikingly similar to that of Central Europe.

• phoppernowlin said:

  I've never seen these type of stacks.

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Edible Chesapeake, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
