A Moment In History: Legendary Shuckers
In October of 1940 dozens from all over Wisconsin traveled to the biggest farm in all of Richland County for the 4th annual Corn Husking Championships.
This air was thick with anitcipation as the final weighings were being made.
In the end, Rock Counties own, Dick Post ( shown here... and yes, that really is his name) walked away with the title in a closely contested final versus cross town rival Omer Koopman. This was the year when Wisconsin cornhusking was really put on the map. Dick Post went on to model for the magazine "Shirt Too Short, Pants Too High, Collar Flaired Out Like A D-Bag Weekly" in the late 40's.
