History
In 1979 a public grain elevator was built on an adjoining property and grain from all over was brought in. Since then the elevator has had up to three dryers, a cleaner system installed and tripled in capacity. Nowadays the elevator is not public and is only used for processing and storage of grain for Barlow Farms.
