Public Elevators
Public Elevators
Definition: Grain elevators in which bulk storage of grain is provided to the public for a fee. Grain of the same grade but owned by different persons is usually mixed or commingled as opposed to storing it "identity preserved." Some elevators are approved by exchanges as regular (see Regular Warehouse) for delivery on futures contracts.
