The northern three fourths of the shop has been lined with tin and reinforced to permit the storage of up to 50,000 bushels of grain, or could be used as machinery storage space. The southern portion of shop has been used as grain storage, but was constructed primarily as shop space. Serviced with electricity. Center Pivot: This is a fourteen tower pivot that originally operated in a complete circle. However a change in the course of Cut Bank Creek now requires the pivot run one direction until it reaches Cut Bank Creek, and then reversed and run the opposite direction until reaching Cut Bank Creek again. Automatic stop have been installed. This pivot is older but well maintained. The pivot was originally constructed as a high pressure system in about 1982, and was refitted in 1999 to a low pressure system, substantially reducing operation costs. The system consists of a 30 horse, electrical pump on the bank of Cut Bank Creek which pushes water about three eighths of a mile north to a 125 horse, electrical booster pump, which then forces the water to the center pivot.
