elevator</b> is a facility designed to stockpile or store grain. In the <a href="/wiki/Grain_trade" title="Grain trade">grain trade</a>, the term "grain elevator" also describes a tower containing a <a href="/wiki/Bucket_elevator" title="Bucket elevator">bucket elevator</a> or a <a href="/wiki/Pneumatic_conveyor" class="mw-redirect" title="Pneumatic conveyor">pneumatic conveyor</a>, which scoops up <a href="/wiki/Grain" title="Grain">grain</a> from a lower level and deposits it in a <a href="/wiki/Silo" title="Silo">silo</a> or other storage facility. </p><p>In most cases, the term "grain elevator" also describes the entire elevator complex, including receiving and testing offices, <a href="/wiki/Rail_weighbridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Rail weighbridge">weighbridges</a>, and storage facilities. It may also mean organizations that operate or control several individual elevators, in different locations. In Australia, the term describes only the lifting mechanism. </p><p>Before the advent of the grain elevator, grain was usually handled in bags rather than in bulk (large quantities of loose grain). The Dart elevator was a major innovation—it was invented by <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Dart" title="Joseph Dart">Joseph Dart</a>, a merchant, and <a href="/wiki/Robert_Dunbar" title="Robert Dunbar">Robert Dunbar</a>, an engineer, in 1842, in <a href="/wiki/Buffalo,_New_York" title="Buffalo, New York">Buffalo, New York</a>. Using the steam-powered flour mills of <a href="/wiki/Oliver_Evans" title="Oliver Evans">Oliver Evans</a> as their model, they invented the marine leg, which scooped loose grain out of the hulls of ships and elevated it to the top of a marine tower.<sup id="cite_ref-American_Colossus_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-American_Colossus-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Early grain elevators and bins were often built of framed or cribbed wood, and were prone to fire. In 1899 Frank H. Peavey "The Elevator King' along with <a href="/wiki/Charles_F._Haglin" title="Charles F. Haglin">Charles F. Haglin</a>, invented the modern grain elevator. The first <a href="/wiki/Peavey%E2%80%93Haglin_Experimental_Concrete_Grain_Elevator" title="Peavey–Haglin Experimental Concrete Grain Elevator">Peavey-Haglin Experimental Concrete Grain Elevator</a> still stands today in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The Peavey invented elevator was the first cylindrical concrete grain elevator in the world and is now widely used across Canada and the US. </p><p>Grain elevator bins, tanks, and silos are now usually made of steel or reinforced concrete. Bucket elevators are used to lift grain to a distributor or consignor, from which it falls through spouts and/or <a href="/wiki/Conveyor" class="mw-redirect" title="Conveyor">conveyors</a> and into one or more bins, silos, or tanks in a facility. When desired, silos, bins, and tanks are emptied by gravity flow, sweep <a href="/wiki/Auger_conveyor" class="mw-redirect" title="Auger conveyor">augers</a>, and conveyors. As grain is emptied from bins, tanks, and silos, it is conveyed, blended, and weighted into trucks, <a href="/wiki/Railroad_car" title="Railroad car">railroad cars</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Barge" title="Barge">barges</a> for shipment. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Usage_and_definitions">Usage and definitions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grain_elevator&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Usage and definitions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Saskatchewan,_grain_elevator,_Kodachrome_by_Scott_Williams.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Saskatchewan%2C_grain_elevator%2C_Kodachrome_by_Scott_Williams.jpg/220px-Saskatchewan%2C_grain_elevator%2C_Kodachrome_by_Scott_Williams.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="142" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Saskatchewan%2C_grain_elevator%2C_Kodachrome_by_Scott_Williams.jpg/330px-Saskatchewan%2C_grain_elevator%2C_Kodachrome_by_Scott_Williams.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Saskatchewan%2C_grain_elevator%2C_Kodachrome_by_Scott_Williams.jpg/440px-Saskatchewan%2C_grain_elevator%2C_Kodachrome_by_Scott_Williams.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2628" data-file-height="1694" /></a><figcaption>Saskatchewan Wheat Pool No. 7, <a href="/wiki/Thunder_Bay" title="Thunder Bay">Thunder Bay</a>, Ontario</figcaption></figure> <p>In <a href="/wiki/Australian_English" title="Australian English">Australian English</a>, the term "grain elevator" is reserved for elevator towers, while a receival and storage building or complex is distinguished by the formal term "receival point" or as a "wheat bin" or "silo".

Due to the completion of the <a href="/wiki/Erie_Canal" title="Erie Canal">Erie Canal</a> in 1825, Buffalo enjoyed a unique position in American geography. It stood at the intersection of two great all-water routes; one extended from <a href="/wiki/New_York_Harbor" title="New York Harbor">New York Harbor</a>, up the <a href="/wiki/Hudson_River" title="Hudson River">Hudson River</a> to <a href="/wiki/Albany,_New_York" title="Albany, New York">Albany</a>, and beyond it, the Port of Buffalo; the other comprised the <a href="/wiki/Great_Lakes" title="Great Lakes">Great Lakes</a>, which could theoretically take boaters in any direction they wished to go (north to <a href="/wiki/Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a>, west to <a href="/wiki/Michigan" title="Michigan">Michigan</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wisconsin" title="Wisconsin">Wisconsin</a>, south to <a href="/wiki/Toledo,_Ohio" title="Toledo, Ohio">Toledo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cleveland,_Ohio" class="mw-redirect" title="Cleveland, Ohio">Cleveland</a>, or east to the <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_Ocean" title="Atlantic Ocean">Atlantic Ocean</a>). All through the 1830s, Buffalo benefited tremendously from its position. In particular, it was the recipient of most of the increasing quantities of grain (mostly wheat) that was being grown on farms in <a href="/wiki/Ohio" title="Ohio">Ohio</a> and <a href="/wiki/Indiana" title="Indiana">Indiana</a>, and shipped on <a href="/wiki/Lake_Erie" title="Lake Erie">Lake Erie</a> for trans-shipment to the Erie Canal. If Buffalo had not been there, or when things got backed up there, that grain would have been loaded onto boats at Cincinnati and shipped down the <a href="/wiki/Mississippi_River" title="Mississippi River">Mississippi River</a> to <a href="/wiki/New_Orleans" title="New Orleans">New Orleans</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-American_Colossus_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-American_Colossus-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By 1842, Buffalo's port facilities clearly had become antiquated. They still relied upon techniques that had been in use since the European <a href="/wiki/Middle_Ages" title="Middle Ages">Middle Ages</a>; work teams of <a href="/wiki/Stevedore" class="mw-redirect" title="Stevedore">stevedores</a> use <a href="/wiki/Block_and_tackle" title="Block and tackle">block and tackles</a> and their own backs to unload or load each sack of grain that had been stored ashore or in the boat's hull. Several days, sometimes even a week, were needed to serve a single grain-laden boat. Grain shipments were going down the Mississippi River, not over the Great Lakes/Erie Canal system. </p><p>A merchant named Joseph Dart Jr., is generally credited as being the one who adapted <a href="/wiki/Oliver_Evans" title="Oliver Evans">Oliver Evans</a>' grain elevator (originally a manufacturing device) for use in a commercial framework (the trans-shipment of grain in bulk from lakers to canal boats), but the actual design and construction of the world's first steam-powered "grain storage and transfer warehouse" was executed by an engineer named Robert Dunbar. Thanks to the historic <a href="/wiki/Dart%27s_Elevator" class="mw-redirect" title="Dart's Elevator">Dart's Elevator</a> (operational on 1 June 1843), which worked almost seven times faster than its nonmechanized predecessors, Buffalo was able to keep pace with—and thus further stimulate—the rapid growth of American agricultural production in the 1840s and 1850s, but especially after the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">Civil War</a>, with the coming of the <a href="/wiki/Rail_transport" title="Rail transport">railroads</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-American_Colossus_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-American_Colossus-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Burrus.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Burrus.JPG/220px-Burrus.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="169" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Burrus.JPG/330px-Burrus.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Burrus.JPG/440px-Burrus.JPG 2x" data-file-width="900" data-file-height="690" /></a><figcaption>A 1928 Burrus Elevator steel-reinforced concrete elevator with 123 silos shown just prior to demolition in 2004</figcaption></figure> <p>The world's second and third grain elevators were built in Toledo, Ohio, and <a href="/wiki/Brooklyn" title="Brooklyn">Brooklyn</a>, New York, in 1847. These fledgling American cities were connected through an emerging international grain trade of unprecedented proportions. Grain shipments from farms in Ohio were loaded onto ships by elevators at Toledo; these ships were unloaded by elevators at Buffalo that shipped their grain to canal boats (and, later, rail cars), which were unloaded by elevators in Brooklyn, where the grain was either distributed to <a href="/wiki/East_Coast_of_the_United_States" title="East Coast of the United States">East Coast</a> flour mills or loaded for further shipment to <a href="/wiki/England" title="England">England</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Netherlands" title="Netherlands">Netherlands</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a>. This eastern flow of grain, though, was matched by an equally important flow of people and capital in the opposite direction, that is, from east to west. Because of the money to be made in grain production, and of course, because of the existence of an all-water route to get there, increasing numbers of immigrants in Brooklyn came to Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to become farmers. More farmers meant more prairies turned into farmlands, which in turn meant increased grain production, which of course meant that more grain elevators would have to be built in places such as Toledo, Buffalo, and Brooklyn (and Cleveland, <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Duluth,_Minnesota" title="Duluth, Minnesota">Duluth</a>).

While several are still in productive use, many of those that remain are presently idle. In a nascent trend, some of the city's inactive capacity has recently come back online, with an <a href="/wiki/Ethanol" title="Ethanol">ethanol</a> plant started in 2007 using one of the previously mothballed elevators to store corn.

The classic grain elevator was constructed with wooden cribbing and had nine or more larger square or rectangular bins arranged in 3 × 3 or 3 × 4 or 4 × 4 or more patterns. Wooden-cribbed elevators usually had a driveway with truck scale and office on one side, a rail line on the other side, and additional grain-storage annex bins on either side. </p><p>In more recent times with improved transportation, centralized and much larger elevators serve many farms.

The loss of the grain elevators from small towns is often considered a great change in their identity, and efforts to preserve them as heritage structures are made. At the same time, many larger grain farms have their own grain-handling facilities for storage and loading onto trucks. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:GrainElevatorEsthervilleIA2006-05-20.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/GrainElevatorEsthervilleIA2006-05-20.JPG/170px-GrainElevatorEsthervilleIA2006-05-20.JPG" decoding="async" width="170" height="139" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/GrainElevatorEsthervilleIA2006-05-20.JPG/255px-GrainElevatorEsthervilleIA2006-05-20.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/GrainElevatorEsthervilleIA2006-05-20.JPG/340px-GrainElevatorEsthervilleIA2006-05-20.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2287" data-file-height="1874" /></a><figcaption>Old wooden cribbed grain elevator and livestock feedmill in <a href="/wiki/Estherville,_Iowa" title="Estherville, Iowa">Estherville, Iowa</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Elevator operators buy grain from farmers, either for cash or at a contracted price, and then sell <a href="/wiki/Futures_contract" title="Futures contract">futures contracts</a> for the same quantity of grain, usually each day.

The old community name often remained on an elevator long after the town had either disappeared or been amalgamated into another community; the grain elevator at <a href="/wiki/Ellerslie,_Edmonton" title="Ellerslie, Edmonton">Ellerslie, Alberta</a>, remained marked with its old community name until it was demolished, which took place more than 20 years after the village had been annexed by <a href="/wiki/Edmonton" title="Edmonton">Edmonton</a>. </p><p>One of the major historical trends in the grain trade has been the closure of many smaller elevators and the consolidation of the grain trade to fewer places and among fewer companies.
