HERITAGE  COOPERATIVE  GRAIN  ELEVATORS  SCHEDULED  SHUTDOWNS

CALENDAR FOR 2010

On March 22, 1945 the Board signed an option on land on the north side of Urbana
belonging to Mr. Dellinger as a future location under the best terms possible. In
September the deed was received for 3.5 acres on Bloomfield Avenue for the Old
Illinois Car Yard at the price of $ 3,000. In February 1946 the Board authorized the
construction of a grain elevator and feed mill on Bloomfield Avenue. In August
construction started on the grain elevator of 14,000 bushel capacity, 50’ x 96’
warehouse, office and store building.

In July 1947 plans were accepted to build the farm machinery building. The
Champaign County Farm Bureau Cooperative Association moved from 408 Miami
Street to 304 Bloomfield Avenue, Urbana in 1948.

In July 1958 a motion was passed to erect two 35,000 bushel concrete grain bins
and install a 300 bu/hr grain dryer; cost $55,000. Also, additional land was purchased
from J.A. Dellinger for extension of the rail track. In April 1959 the Board passed a
motion to add an additional 200,000 bushel of grain storage, plus a second grain
dryer at Urbana.In February 1960 it was decided to construct two more 50,000 bushel
grain silos at Urbana. This brought the total storage to 1.4 million bushel storage.
We handle 3.6 million bushels of grain a year and load 50 rail cars a year.
