Towns and Nature: Jasper, MN: Destroyed Grain Elevator and Modern Feed Mill

Wednesday, June 10, 2026

Elevator: (See below for a satellite image that I got while it was still standing.)

Feed Mill: (Satellite)

Ron Minor: This was a active shipper on the BNSF up to a couple of years ago. Is it going to be replaced?

John Harker: I remember when this was poured in 1980 ,I believe.

I worked with some guys that helped pour it.

The final part of the Jasper Elevator structure was successfully brought down during the second round of demolition

Tom Foster: So sad, once was one of best elevators in SW, Mn.

It was a rather large grain elevator.

It even had rail service. Removing a wood elevator is all to common, but removing concrete silos is very rare.

This is probably the locomotive that we see in the background of the above view.

Some of the bins had already been removed by 2025.

The town still has a feed mill.
