Private Grain Elevator and Distribution System

This grain elevator and other structures are in a private religious colony, probably Hutterite, but I do not recall with certainty. I was attracted by the grain elevator, which I saw from the main highway, but was interested in the entire scene when I arrived.

 

I have wondered about the function tall towers like this previously. It appears that grain is brought to the top of this structure by conveyer belt and then shunted into tubes to the appropriate storage device where gravity does the rest.
