grain elevators
Harvest storage facilities
Grain elevators are tall structures used for storing and handling grain.
They receive grain from farms, store it in vertical bins or silos, and load it onto trucks, trains, or ships for transport.
The name comes from the mechanism that lifts grain to the top for gravity-fed distribution.
Grain elevators are landmarks in agricultural regions: The grain elevator dominated the prairie skyline.
