2,000,000 bushels of soy beans were stored in this 300-foot diameter building that was built by Stein Construction using 280 tons of steel. The beans were brought in by conveyor up the slope of the roof. The pile, when stored, will slope the same as the roof, and the beans were recovered by a belt conveyor underneath the floor.
