In 1937, Hartog Elevator opened it's doors at the former Devries Elevator in Sanborn, IA. At that time, Cornie Hartog and his father Frank Hartog, went to work for Cornie's brother John. They receieved and unloaded corn from the shellers and trucked it out to feed mills. Prior to that, John Hartog had already established business in Seney, Iowa and Granville, Iowa where he offered services such as coal, flour, tires, oil, grain, feed, and seed. Hartog Elevator is now in its fourth generation as a family owned and operated business.

Today, in addition to Sanborn, we also have locations in Plessis and Ritter, Iowa. In June of 2007, we celebrated 70 years of business. We provide for our customers by offering services to meet the needs of today's ever changingi agriculture environment. Feed ingredients and grain are delivered throughout the Midwest with the 16 tractors and hopper trailers that have become part of the grain-feed-trucking business.
