Album: Ill. stuff Dec. 11, 2009.

This is the operation at Ozinga that Ron mentioned a little while back. They're loading Iowa soybeans into containers here; unfortunately it was deader'n a doornail both days I was there so no good action shots and no one to talk to about the operation. Seems like they might be a little overpowered with that big V-8 Cat generator! I'm guessing they must build a temporary bulkhead in the container door and back it up around the belt, then pull ahead as the container fills with beans.
