New Look For Walnut Hill Landmark: Escambia Grain Gets Coat Of Paint

March 9, 2017

A Walnut Hill landmark has an updated look, thanks to a fresh coat of paint at Escambia Grain, one of just a handful of grain elevators in Florida.  First opened in 1965, Escambia Grain has six storage silos, each about 100 feet tall.

The silos were previously white, with little paint remaining on the concrete surfaces (see bottom photo).

    James, it sure looks good! I don`t know who did paint job, but they sure did a great job. We farmers need to support the local elevator; they perform a great service for alot of people.
