Garst and Thomas Corn Plant

Since the 30’s Seed Corn Production has been a major industry in Coon Rapids.

The original plant, located a block south of Main Street is still in operation today. It processes corn for about 6 weeks beginning in early September.

This old postcard shows workers grading and sorting seed corn.
