| Ashton Blobaum posted, cropped Kassik Mills Miligan NE 2026 Tin elevator still in use with the wood leg inside along with a new one installed through the roof Bob Summers: This would be a cribbed construction wood elevator with tin on the exterior to make them less vulnerable to fire, often from embers from the coal fired steam locomotives. We usually call them “iron clad” elevators. Cribbed construction is where 2x6 planks are laid flat and nailed to the layer below. Takes a lot of lumber. |
South of Kassik Milling is the Farmers Cooperative.

The main facility is in the left background and the facility on the right is more grain storage capacity and ag chemicals.

It looks like the co-op has a feed mill.

Actually, the above modern feed mill and a lot of the grain storage is part of Kassik Milling.

There must be some sort of joint agreement between Kassik Milling and Farmers Cooperative.
