Episode 32: The Lost Agricultural Heritage of Northeast Indiana & Northwest Ohio, a Solo Discussion

    "I remember riding with my grandfathers to deliver grain to the St. Joe Elevator in St. Joe, Indiana. Across the railroad tracks sat Crow’s Rainbow Farm Center. At the time, it felt like these places would always be there—until they weren’t."

    In this episode of Patio Ponderings, we take a look back at the agricultural businesses that once defined Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio—and explore why so many have disappeared. From Wayne Feeds and Central Soya to Eckrich Meats, and Parrot Packing, to long closed Farm Implement Dealerships I discuss the local feed mills, livestock markets, and equipment dealerships that shaped farming communities.

    What led to their decline? How did events like the 1980s farm crisis and corporate consolidation change the agricultural landscape? And what lessons can we take from these lost businesses as we look toward the future of farming?

    If you remember these businesses—or have stories of your own about the changing face of rural America—let’s keep the conversation going! Share your thoughts with me or leave a comment wherever you listen to podcasts.
