Located just 4 miles southeast of Wilmington, Illinois, this modernized grain facility offers prime roadside frontage on Ballou Road, ensuring outstanding accessibility and visibility. The property boasts a fully functional grain operation, featuring 14 grain bins for a combined storage capacity of 974,000 bushels.
