Farm crops and pasture represent roughly 1 out of four acres in New York State, only exceeded by forested acerage which is roughly 2/3rds of the state’s land cover.
While a lot of the forested acerage is Forest Preserve and park, a significant portion of the remaining acerage is farm woodland in support of farm operations – timber used to heat farm houses and make hot water for milk houses, milled in support of farm construction, used to provide hunting grounds, and sold as an additional income stream to the farm.

Grinding your own field corn seems like a good way to save money but I think I would find a way to run the corn sheller mechanically as turning it seems like a lot of hard and unnecessary work. That home-made corn crib though is pretty neat and sounds like it works well for storage and drying of field corn. I'm actually very impressed by this small scale homestead operation.
