Kevin J. Tully: What is the "box" in the center with the round distributor? Looks like about 12 legs or more going into it.

That "box" with many inputs is common for feed mills. It provides bulk storage for the various supplements that are added to animal feel. And the trucks with augurs in this street view are used for the delivery of bulk animal feed, not flour. So I did a Google search. Most of the results were business directory entries that implied it produced flour. But I found a description that confirms that it now produces animal feed instead of flour:

I would have saved some time if I had encountered this post first because it does identify it as a feed mill.
