It is no secret that here in Champaign County, harvest season has begun. Just drive past The Andersons on North Staley Road at the end of your workday to marvel at the number of grain filled trucks waiting to unload their bounty.
I can attest that the scene Monday afternoon, with trucks heading in from both the north and south, was very similar to the forty year old photo above (Anderson Elevator, October 1976).
To view more photographs from Champaign County's farming community, check out the Grain Elevators photo album available on The Urbana Free Library's Flickr page.
To all of those who work in the farming industry, have a safe harvest!
