Grain Elevator
Minnesota
When German immigrants settled in the Minnesota area, they brought with them hearty varieties of wheat. During the latter half of the 1800s, wheat helped shape various industries in Minnesota. To accommodate for all the wheat production, grain elevators were placed along rail lines to allow farmers closer locations to sell their grains. Though the wheat industry specifically is no longer the thriving juggernaut it once was, grain production in Minnesota has become a diverse and important commodity. |
