Yampa Valley Feeds is currently owned and operated by Doug Meacham.
The original grain elevator was built in 1920-21, with the large elevator added in 1949.
The scales were contracted by White Star and built in the late 1940's.
The grainery suffered from a fire in 1968, however the original portion still stands today.
The grainery was a gathering spot for locals, and that tradition carries on today with the coffee pot always on.
