Agricultural Businesses; Farmer's Cooperative. The big elevator can easily been seen when looking up the river toward NW Waverly. The grain elevator held its grand opening on December 17, 1949. The 185 foot tall structure was tucked between what in 2025 are the Waverly Utilities office and Nestle's. In 1986 it was sold to Con Agra as part of their Peavey group. Schneider's Milling purchased it in 2005. It was razed in March 2014.
