Bob Summers This was originally a DesMarteau Grain Company elevator built by George Gano after he sold Gano Grain to Bunge Corp in 1949. The extra tall headhouse was a common feature of these elevators to facilitate having scales capable of certified weights. I was fortunate enough to have several goose hunts with the manager and his guys in the early '70's. Great memories!

I'm saving the satellite image because the shadow also records the height of the headhouse.
