Richard Risley My father-in-law Robert Wise worked at this facility from 1951 until he retired in 1991. He was a grain buyer, salesman & traffic manager. He began working for John Vanier's - Kansas Soya Products. During a span of a few years - ADM purchased Vanier's operations but couldn't keep this operation. It was sold to Ross Industries which in turn was sold to Cargill. Cargill couldn't keep it & sold it to Bunge Corp. ADM & Cargill were kept from owning it due to Government trade restrictions. My FIL had changed employers 5 times & never moved his desk. The North concrete annex was added in the very early 1960s. I remember watching the slip forms moving upward as the tanks were poured.

| 1 David Budka "Bluestem Feed Mills. Pulp Red Feeds?" Whatever, I love it! Bob Summers Do not know the history but made out a barely legible sign on the elevator as "Bluestem Feeds" but following up on your post googled "Pulp Red Feeds" and found "F & F Feeds" David Budka I was looking at another set of pictures, and did a little research. I think they are advertising the Ful-O-Pep brand of feeds. It was a Quaker Oats brand. They recently painted over the Scolar and West-Central Grain Company signs on the old workhouse along I-480 in Omaha, Nebraska. I love grain elevator advertising! Dennis DeBruler Bluestem still has a retail store: https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4... Google Maps labels this F & F Feeds: https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4... |

Bob Summers posted two photos with the comment: "Not a surprise that Cargill is also serving the Flint Hills cattlemen with this feedmill in Emporia Kansas. Square concrete and steel elevators are common with feedmills in our region."
Matt Letts The old Safeway dog food plant, looks like they have added on to it since I lived there.
