On the Road to the Wheat Harvest 3
There was gridlock at the Ahpeatone grain elevator of Walters Cooperative Elevator last night. More than 30 trucks with sem-trailers full of wheat waited hours to unload their grain.
Some drivers were more patient than others, said elevator employee Jeff Robinson.
“Our biggest challenge was keeping tempers in check,” Robinson said of the traffic jam that began on the elevator’s grounds and spilled out both ways on the highways.
Eventually, everyone did got to deliver their wheat, but the work day did not end for the Ahpeatone elevator crew until after 1 a.m.
By 1:30 p.m. this afternoon, a line of 10 trucks waited out on the highway for their turn to deliver as the whole process started once again.
