When I was a little girl, Dad would occasionally let me climb into the pickup for the short ride to the DeWitt County Co-op in Clinton, Ill. He’d gravitate towards the circle of farmers drinking coffee on a cold Illinois morning after giving me a nickel for the peanut machine in the corner.
For decades following the closure of this and several other local grain elevators, Dad became a familiar face at ADM in Birkbeck, Ill. He’d grab his truck keys on the way out the door, leaving a note on the kitchen table “Gone to Birkbeck” for whomever might need to track him down.
