GSI Tower

Stainless steel tower next to the Harvest States Co-op elevator almost looks like something from the space age.
Walnut Grove, Iowa.

These dryers turn a dark rusty brown color when they have been run full tilt for a number of days. Later they return to their stainless steel color. Don't know if the rain washes the stain away or if someone has to scrub it clean. The random checkering on the concrete silos is also commonly seen. Its cause is another one of those puzzles.
