Old Grain Elevator- Nashville Road, Vaughn.Once a vital part of this rural community .Now just a memory .
I thought there would be a fence around this modern grain elevator complex. I guess there is no worry that grain will be stollen. Someone would see a truck coming in. It wouldn’t be very lucrative to sneak in for a basket of grain, especially if you are feeding a herd of cattle.
BTW ... Happy Unfenced Friday is HUFF
Located in a very small town, in Missouri.

Another shot of the historic MJ Hogan Grain Elevator in Seneca,IL. near the old I&M Canal in northern Illinois. The elevator,though long shuttered,is the last of its kind along the old canal that was so instrumental in the economic growth of the region.Chicago would not have become the transportation and manufacturing hub without the canal.Today,the old canal is a popular tourism destination...
The old elevator today is a park and listed on the National Register of Historic Places...
I'll drive 700 miles to photograph an old grain elevator. I found this one 3 miles from my house and I'd never really noticed it before.
It says Purdue on the fence, but I can’t figure out where they keep the chickens. My theory is that the chickens are in the squat round building with the rusty roof. This modern grain elevator drops food directly into the top of the large chicken coop and it flutters to the ground to feed the chickens. The fence is closed when they let the chickens out twice a day for exercise. They won’t fly away because they each have little shock collars on.
This is quite a big complex. I like the vintage, tall wooden grain elevators better, but this looks more efficient.

Union Equity Co-Operative Exchange Elevator B was built between 1946 to 1949. It has a capacity of 11 million bushels, or 387 million liters of grain. It stands right east of Union Equity Elevator A, which was built in 1931. This elevator is 1,400 ft. long, 90 ft. wide and 240 ft. tall to the roof. It is one of the eight grain elevators in Enid, Oklahoma that consists of Enid Terminal Grain Elevator Historic District along with the other two grain elevators seen in this image.

This old grain elevator near Lee Center,IL.,has been closed for a long time. These elevators started fading as modern farming progressed. They could not handle new,larger farm equipment and the cost to remodel to do so was cost prohibitive. Also the decline of railroads made the transport of grain easier, trucks could haul the grain from anywhere on a much more flexible schedule...
Traditionally, wooden grain elevators were scattered across the prairie landscape where farmers dropped off their grain crops for shipment, usually by rail to central locations, for distribution to world markets. These iconic structures are rapidly being replaced by steel structures. In some cases, private land holders will have an elevator moved onto their land to keep them from disappearing forever.
This particular grain elevator was originally at or near the town of Kingman east of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
