Gary, MN

united states

Gary is a tiny farming town in northwestern Minnesota's Red River Valley, home to just 268 residents. Located about 45 miles from Fargo via Highway 10 and Highway 9, it sits amid the flat, fertile prairie that defines this agricultural region. The area experiences harsh winters and warm summers perfect for corn and soybean farming. Gary's towering grain elevator dominates the landscape, visible for miles across the flat terrain and serving as both a landmark and symbol of the community's agricultural roots.
