| Description: | A bumper wheat crop overwhelms storage facilities, pouring in at a rate of almost a million bushels a day. This year's 900 million bushel harvest-six bushels for every American-will add to the surpluses that now burden storage facilities, and trouble economists-in addition to spelling overtime for the hard pressed elevators. Establishing shot - Chicago's storage grain elevators used for grain. CUS - Box cars and trucks are put on elevators that lift and tilt out the grain that's in the box cars and trucks. CUS - Grain spilling out of the truck's cab. CUS - An inspector checking for contaminants in the corn. CU - Grain that was unloaded from the box cars being put into the grain holders. MS - Outside the Grain Elevator. Boxcars waiting to be unloaded. | |
