We had the small coop elevator next to my farm, a coop elevator 5 miles away in town along with a private elevator that liked to buy small grains more so than the rest, and a rye mill that bought rye. Oh also another coop elevator as a branch of a town south of here.
The small elevator next to me they put in a new feed mill, then they merged up bigger and the new coop figured they needed to upgrade the elevator to work with the feed mill. Otherwise I think it all would have been torn down and gone. But they built on a budget so the new elevator (which is 30 years old) was not very big or efficient, and is once again way outdated and slow.
The coop in town went under in the 1980s, they were doing some funny money stuff a few farmers got caught short in it, dad got all his checks to cash..
The rye mill caught on fire and is gone in the late 80s or 90s.
The private elevator got sold twice and ended up part of the branch coop from south of town.
So, I am left with 2 local markets, northern coop and southern coop. I guess I’m lucky to live on the seam Between them and have options.
