Geo. Sexauer and Sons was a prominent grain, feed, seed, and coal company with locations in central and eastern South Dakota.
George P. Sexauer established the Seed Company in 1897 and constructed a building in Brookings, SD, just south of the railroad tracks.
His legacy lived through his family with son Elmer, grandson Robert, and great-grandson Robb being involved in the business. The business was sold out of the family in 1997.
Sexauer Seed company had many grain elevators in the area including Brookings, Bushnell, Arlington, DeSmet, Erwin, Bancroft, Miller, and Gettysburg to name a few.
The company went out of business and the main office in Brookings now houses an insurance company. The last of the Sexauer family, Robb, died in 2013.
I worked for this company in the late 1960s and was stationed at the elevator in Erwin. SD.
