This original painting depict a small town, ND grain elevator. The artist lives in North Dakota with her family.

North Dakota grain elevators are the funnel through which the state’s largest single source of new wealth has flowed for decades. Over 700 million bushels of grains and oilseeds are handled by North Dakota grain elevators each year. Roughly 78 percent of that moves out by rail and the other 22 percent by truck. Wheat tops the list with about 300 million bushels and corn second with about 170 million bushels. These bushels go to the Pacific Northwest, Minneapolis, Duluth, and other locations including some destinations within North Dakota. Some of this bounty ends up in the far corners of the world.
