Excerpts from the report: The layouts and designs illustrated and described in this report are for a small, country grain elevator with a total storage capacity of about 32,000 bushels. The designs were developed mainly for the Southeast where there is a need for a small plant with tanks and equipment for handling, but not storing, large volumes of grain. However, the designs are equally applicable to other areas of the country with similar grain storage and handling needs. The report includes discussions and recommendations on: (1) Selection of building material and the type of building construction; (2) selection of handling and other equipment; (3) layout and arrangement of the facility; (4) estimated initial construction costs; and (5) estimated annual facility cost including depreciation, interest, maintenance, insurance, and taxes. Three different types of plants were developed and are described in this report: (1) One handling shelled corn and small grain; (2) one handling ear corn, shelled corn, and small grain; and (3) one receiving mainly ear corn.
