The wood elevator is in the center, and part of the depot is on the left. This view lets us see the second leg that serves a bunch of small bins, so this is probably a feed mill.

Steven also caught a classic slip-form concrete elevator. That elevator has been expanded with some jump-form silos. The conveyor belt and chute implies that BNSF provides rail service. But the siding is way too short to handle a unit train and there is no fall protector.

There is another major elevator next to the wood elevator.

There are also a bunch of bins behind the elevator that is anchored by the slip-form bins.

In short, this town has a lot of grain storage as well as a feed mill.
