Wood: (Satellite)
Wood and bolted steel: (Satellite)This straight truck is like the one I used to drive on my grandfather's farm. I thought it was an honor when they allowed me to take a load of wheat to town. But then I learned how long you have to set in line at the elevator.

Look at all of the liquid fertilizer trailers.

The tanks in the foreground probably hold liquid fertilizer. I think the bins in the background are for dry fertilizer rather than a feed mill.

Next to the bins is a building to hold a lot of a dry product. Potash?

Given all of the chutes coming down from the legs, this is probably a feed mill. And do the bags on pallets in the building hold seed?

There was a short cut of hoppers at the grain storage facility and an even shorter cut at the fertilizer facility, so I investigated the ownership of the railroad. Sure enough, this former Rock Island is now owned by a shortline, specifically Kyle Railroad.

There is more grain storage east of town, but I guess that is owned by a farmer.
