The only thing I would add is that the facility in the OP is a feed distributor, handling grain for inbound cattle and poultry feed, not an elevator for outbound grain. Beef cattle, dairy cattle, and poultry are all big industries in the valley.

Throughout the Midwest grain companies have been adding elevators with these loops to load unit trains for the last 15 years.  They are very efficient for loading trainloads of grain. I would agree with others that this is the other end of our systems in the Midwest where they are unloading grain for feedlots and poultry operations.
