Hi All, In transcribing information from the 1850 and 1860 Scott Co. Agricultural Census, I've noticed that nearly every farm in the county produced Indian Corn. Do any of you know what it was and what it was used for? I am guessing it was used, at least in part, for winter feed for livestock? Nearly every farm also had at least one "milch" cow and some hogs. Others had horses, oxen, sheep, etc. In 1850 none of the farms reported putting up any hay. At this point I am about 1/4 of the way through the 1860 census and only one farmer has listed putting up two tons of hay. Nearly every farm produced some butter; others reported honey - all this keeps me constantly hungry as I work from this microfilm! My husband has told me about finding a "bee tree" on his grandpa's farm. He and his uncle worked all afternoon chopping the tree down to get the honey, only to discover there was none! To add insult to injury, Grandpa then insisted they cut the tree up for firewood. Any information about Indian corn, bee trees, Scott County farms in general, would be of interest to me and I hope to others on this list. Delaine Edwards
