The Fleck Corn Crib ACO Silo – One of a Kind!

ACO silos are still common across southwestern Minnesota, mostly within a 50-mile radius of Springfield. This area is also prime corn growing country. Here, Anton Fleck Jr. built a one-of-a-kind corn crib ACO silo on a portion of his farm in Essig, Minnesota. Anton worked as a mason on an ACO silo construction crew in the 1920s and early 1930s. When he became a farmer, he used his skills and connection to the Ochs brickyard to erect this rare corn crib silo. Although this corn crib ACO silo is no longer used today, it looks like it could easily last another 100 years.
