      abstract = {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.},
