Out with the old; In with the New

New Grain Storage in Haigler

If you haven't driven around Haigler for awhile, you probably haven't seen that the Old Mill and Lumber Yard buildings are gone and a new grain storage facility is being built where they used to be.  This year would have been a good year to have the extra space for storage since the wheat crop was the best it has been for many years.  100s of bushels of wheat had to be hauled to other towns because there was no more room at the Haigler Equity.

Some of the neighbors are worried about the noise the fans will make and the added possibility of pests in the neighborhood.  

Hopefully, this will be good progress for the town.  Change is always hard, but once its done, there isn't much you can do to prevent it.  

So a little bit of history is gone.  Soon even the memory of "the way it was" will fade away.

Is this progress?  Or destruction?  Do I dare ask current residents what they think?
