I always thought I grew up in the wrong time period!

The wagon is un-hitched, think about what it was like walking out to it.

"Sloppin' the hogs".
We never had more than two to "slop" as we grew them only for our own use.
How many little girls today would be out there enjoying a day with Grandpa (I assume) on a wagon load of rotten vegetables? LOL

I don't know if he's shoveling rotten veggies I just assumed it was ear corn.

Bang board on the wagon. Likely to be corn.

When we ground feed it was my job to make sure the hogs didn't chew the valve stems off any tires. Wonder how long it would take a hog to chew up a spoke on a wheel?

I think you are right; that looks like ear corn.
Those were probably well fed hogs and produced some really good pork.

Threw many scoop shovels from the crib of ear corn over the fence to hogs. So many shovels per group of sows.

Nice pic!
Did not know what a bang board is, so by Googling it I found out what it is and stumbled across an interesting article about a corn husking contest.
