We went down to Vermillion SD again this weekend. Traveled cross country through Mankato, Windom and Worthington MN to catch I-90 west. There is a little town named Butternut, MN about halfway down. I have seen this interesting building on our way through in the past and wondered about it. So this time we stopped and asked the owner if we could look at it and snap a few photos. He was nice and said go ahead. The corn crib is made of concrete block and has I think a galvanized roof on it. The roof has been painted so it could be aluminum. Not sure. It was built by Morton elevators as per the sign inside. I would guestimate the building is about 16' high to the bottom of the roof and the two half circles are about 20' in diameter with an unloading area in the middle. It seemed like a rather elaborate amount of machinery, fancy roof and concrete silo block for not a whole lot of corn storage. But it was a beautiful building and very interesting to have a chance to see up close.
There was a lot of machinery inside including a bucket elevator to haul the corn up.
And a winch system - I assume for changing which side was being filled.
And lastly a door to get into the corn storage area on each side.
Just some pictures with my phone but they show something about the building.

If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
