Fig. 21. Wheat grain yields in 1975 (and in other years) exceeded elevator storage capacity. This 34,000 Mg (1.25 million bushel) wheat pile at Lind, WA, set a world record at the time for most wheat stored outside in a single pile. The wheat was destined for export and was shipped or covered before fall rains began. Photo from Union Elevator and Warehouse, Lind, WA.
