2000-2009:

• 2007 John Phillips passed away

• 2008 Vic Krob passed away

• Crop yields top 200+ bushels/acre

John Phillips passed away on November 6 2007.

Vic Krob passed away on December 23 2008.

As the third generation looks toward retirement, the fourth generation of Krobs is endeavoring to maintain the integrity and quality that has kept the company going for as long as it has, and hoping that if they “are half as good as” their great-grandfather, that maybe they’ll “be okay.”

The increase in crop yields, with 200+ bushel corn becoming the expected norm, has increased the need for grain storage, and in the period between 2001 and 2007 FJ Krob and Company added over 1.5 million bushels of grain storage, as well as new leg and receiving systems to improve unloading efficiency. FJ Krob and Company, after 100 years of conservative, steady growth, now has total grain storage of over 5 million bushels. Like Frank Krob’s original 26,000 bushel wooden elevator, which is still in use today, the company still strives to be “modern in every detail,” although we still operate on the same century-old principles of hard work, honesty, and understanding that in order for an elevator to prosper, each farmer it serves must prosper as well.
