In the early 40"s we had an overhead grainery with a belt driven hammermill underneath.By the late 40"s we were driving the 47Chevrolet to 3 nearby mills to get grain ground and supplements mixed in . The truck box had high sides and extra endgate and we got about 40 bags as full as could be tied. In the late 50"s portable truck mounted mills were coming to the farms. In the 60's most mills were started storing and drying grain and delivering mixed feed to farms. I was on local coop board in the mid 70's as we considered building a much larger grain elevator. We visited the large new facility at Cottage Grove where the manager explained why they built out of town ,away from the RR ,because all the grain was being trucked. Fortunately we built next to the RR and in the 90's our coop manager (Manerd Rauk) convinced the board to build the largest rail terminal in S WI.
