Winema Elevators, Inc.

Winema Elevators, Inc.
Est. 1944 in California. Two sites in Oregon, one in California. Certified organic, their motto is "Agrilicious!" ; )

The word "winema" means female chief in the Modoc language. The name appears in multiple uses in the S. Oregon & N. California region, from a national forest to a county to businesses. Winema was a real person, a Modoc woman also named Toby Riddle, who served as an interpreter between her tribe and the US Army during the Modoc War of 1872-73. The war took place just a few miles from this grain elevator.

It's past harvest time. I think it's barley in this area, considering what I saw on the ground around the train car.

Absolutely right, sir. Google doesn't know these ridiculous conglomerations in American advertising!
