State to pay off farmers who lost grain at Greenville
The Illinois Department of Agriculture says 65 farmers will receive about 450000 dollars in restitution for grain losses from the February 1981 Greenville elevator closure. Checks include 140000 from acting companies and will be distributed at a First Bank & Trust of Greenwood meeting. State officials note Illinois law designates the agriculture department as trustee when an elevator shuts down to liquidate assets and satisfy claims.
