Owensboro, KY: Owensboro, Bunge, Gavilon and ADM Grain Elevators

Bunge: (Satellite, it is not clear which of these riverport facilities are used by Bunge)

Nutrien: (Satellite, honorable mention because fertilizer is another important bulk farm product)

Owensboro: (Grain and Crushing: 3D Satellite; Edible Oil: 3D Satellite)

Gavilon: (Satellite)

ADM: (Satellite, honorable mention because this is really at Rockport, IN)

Bunge

The bins on the left no longer show up in the satellite view. Where they replaced by the long building? I fired up Google Earth. The bins show up in 3/2016 but are gone in 2/2018. Going further back in time, they built the long building between 10/2008 and 6/2010. So yes, the bins were replaced by the building and some more conveyors.

If I start my street view "trip" from River Road, I'm in a Jun 2019 trip and this is as close as I can get to the river. If the I click the "next" arrow, street view switches to a Jul 2012 trip, and I can get the above view showing the bins.

These are the freight cars on the loop track. I can't figure out what they are and what they carry.

Tommy Matusz posted three photos with the comment: "How many of you have been to  the Owensboro Grain Dock on the Ohio, in Owensboro Kentucky? I’m a deckhand for the Owensboro Grain Company, and I load, and unload barges, and work the boats at our three piers."

"At Owensboro Grain, we produce a vast array of products from soybeans, at our plant locations on the Ohio River in Western Kentucky. Our soy products include protein meal and hull pellets for animal feeds, crude and degummed oil, lecithin, various blends of refined vegetable oil for human consumption, biodiesel, glycerin, and industrial waxes." [OwensboroGrain] So Bunge doesn't make oils in this town, but Owensboro Grain does. And they make other products such as candle wax.

I saved a satellite image to note how many barges are fleeted in the area. I don't think they are for this elevator because the loaded barges on the north side look like they are loaded with something like rock.
