grain elevator
Tall wheat storage
A grain elevator is a tall structure for storing and handling grain, typically featuring vertical silos and machinery for lifting grain to the top for distribution.
The name comes from the conveyor system that elevates grain from ground level.
Grain elevators are landmarks in agricultural regions: The town's grain elevator was visible for miles across the prairie.
