There are two grain elevator complexes in Abbyville, not too far apart. They are both part of the Farmer's CO-OP here. The larger one to the east is the benchmark, HG0800. As is usually the case with these, the actual benchmark location is the light on top of the headhouse. Both sets of elevators are along the railroad tracks for ease of loading the product onto railroad cars for shipment to mills.
