Come join AU as we explore our biggest building yet. An old Soy Factory that was built in the 1930's. Awe struck by what we saw we hope that you will SOY-TAINLY enjoy this massive building as you join us on this HUGE Adventure.
I was a pinkerton security guard there in 1982 1983 the plant processed soy beans into oil that large building is called grain elevator Larry pressnell was over the elevator dept those large risers are called head houses the long buildings at front to left is old maintenance buildings there used to be a edible oil refinery at front those pods used to be holding tanks McKee bakery purchased oil there at that time beans came in on river barge and truck
Wow that's great Donlad we appreciate the information! We are glad you liked the video! As you saw in the video we were guessing at what everything was inside. haha We couldn't believe how huge the place was! We ended up making a whole day of it. I think we all slept pretty good after exploring it. haha I can only imagine what it would have been like to work there when it was fully operational seeing the Barges pulling up with the beans. It is always amazing to me how fast nature takes back over a place. Again thanks for sharing
we are going back to explore more of it tomorrow. we havn't explored the main building yet. we went to the side building and the big metal cones. i was just going to ask if it is safe to go inside. like is there a lot of homless people and stuff
At 1500 Mark when you are on roof looking up at stairs that white block building had electric control switch boxes in there if you look around you might find silver key hanging those were keys that you turn your clock with on rounds
Beans came up from the bean dryers in those pipes then rode conveyor to those round silos to right of plant vise versa they went to edible oil refinery where he's and extracted the oil the he's and then burn off leaving clear soy oil
+Joshua Harris Vlogs Honestly I would say mostly through word of mouth. This one was through my friend Chad. He said he used to go by it on his boat while bowfishing and wanted to check it out. I do a lot of research on Google also. When I'm out I always try to talk to people that's where I get most of my info. I would love to find some of these old abandoned military bases like seen on the channel History of America. That guy finds some cool locations but won't give any details. I would like to know where he finds his locations.
