Feed & seed stores were found in nearly all communities, both large and small. In rural areas they sold feed and seed (of course). They also sold fencing, pesticides, herbicides, feeders, water troughs, baby chicks, dairy equipment and more. In larger cities they sold mostly lawn and garden supplies and pet foods. Larger shipments and bagged feed and seed would have arrived by rail just a few years ago. This structure would make a great warehouse or freight depot too.
