Ryegate, MT: Wood Grain Elevators

Gone: (Satellite, we can still see the slab foundation.)
Extant: (Satellite)

Looking Northwest.

The wood elevator is on the right. I don't know what they would be storing in the white bins on the left. Looking North.

As recently as Aug 2013, there were two wood elevators in town. And the white bins do not appear in the Oct 2007 view. Looking South and the extant elevator is on the left.

Does this truck deliver bulk feed or bulk fertilizer?
Digitally Zoomed to the right of the left elevator above.

I'm guessing fertilizer. So that is what the white bins must be for.

In fact, they have multiple trucks.

Ryegate, Montana.
Town was originally established by the Milwaukee Road in 1908.
[It looks like to the right of the 18-wheeler, they have a big-tired spreader.]

The town has just one gas station, but two bars and two churches.
