Prairie Giants, Then and Now

The tall, wooden, grain elevators, that dotted the prairies long ago, are disappearing. Thankfully, a few have been preserved, and some have been purchased by individual farms, or farm cooperatives. As railways closed lines, many elevators were abandoned and demolished. Sadly, some towns never recovered from the loss of their elevator, and vanished completely from the prairie landscape.
New elevators are built from concrete or steel, and the towns nearby benefit economically from their existence.
