[AT] Grain Elevator

[David Bruce]

Neat video clip.  Reminds me of a now lost roller mill a few miles away. 
  The old building is now some sort of gift shop.  I remember going with 
my grandpa in his pickup truck with a bed full of shelled corn to sell. 
  That was in the mid 1960's as I remember.  No railroad as the county 
fathers decided having rail lines in the county would stop cows from 
giving milk and stop hens from laying eggs.
