Grain Elevators of Idaho

Grain elevators on the outskirts of Grangeville on the southern side of the Camas Prairie

Leaving Grangeville we see a familiar sight that will be with us all day and that is grain processing and storage facilities like this one.

Grain storage facilities come in all sizes and shapes.

I don't understand it but grain loading and storage facilities continue to pop up generally where railroad lines run close to the highway.

At this point we are 5 to 10 miles from what I would consider the Camas Prairie where the bulk of the grain is grown but these grain storage and handling facilities continue to dot the landscape.

We are almost to Lewiston when we spot this large grain storage facility.

This picture does not do this building justice since I had to reduce it in size. It is a huge grain storage building.

Note the size of this grain elevator as compared to that Jacklin Seed Company trailer. These grain elevators are part of the farm product storage complex in Nezperce. I say farm product storage since beans and canola seeds are a large part of agriculture on the Camas Prairie.

This is an old grain elevator. It was a common design used from the early 1900s to mid 1980s and an important part of Western Idaho agriculture.
