In my travels, I've seen many old, abandoned elevators that were probably co-op elevators for farmers that changed what they grew, or gave farming up due to an inability to compete with large agri-business. Locally, they're rice elevators, some are huge concrete structures, and the most substantial will probably remain for multiple decades. The cost to demolish them is more than any revenue the land could produce.
