The elevator can store 4.5 million bushels. It can unload trucks at a rate of 55kbph and dry grain at a rate of 7.5kbph. [FarmCityElevator] The difference between the unloading and drying rates is why farmers have to pay a premium if their grain is not dry enough for safe storage.
Just to the East is this facility. I wonder what it is used for. It doesn't look like a feed mill.
This elevator is another example of a shortline that is willing to serve a grain elevator.

| Mike Gramm posted Just minutes from the Illinois/Wisconsin border is the tiny town of Zenda, Wisconsin population 120 surrounded by lush farm fields. The Wisconsin & Southern/Watco Railroad picks up loads several times a week from the family-owned Elevator that expanded in 2013, MG Photo, Thx for looking. John McCall: What's the story on that skinny bin just left of center with all the rings around it? Rather different, but why? Tim Smith: John, that’s a grain dryer not a bin. |
I wonder what the buildings hold.
