Still haven't gotten any guesses (serious ones anyway) about the thing I went to photograph the day I got stuck on the "frontage road".Here's one that I see everyday on way to/from range. There are tons of them around, all out in middle of fields on farms (or ranches).

Now that I have seen the "Mooz" picture..it seems to me that these large vats contain your coveted "Mooz Milk".
Okay, I'll bite...is it a solid or liquid container???
Can't be a normal liquid or it would frozen solid (or is it liquid Oxygen or is that nitrogen, maybe that could explain the cold wx temps). this could be our solution to Global Warming (sorry, I'm just running with it now).
Is it stored up grain for animals (are there animals there on the farm)
I'd thought since you got rescued by the local farmers, that you would have axed them the question.
BUT, my biggest fear is that they are storing up yellow corn grits and letting them sit until they "morf" into "Cream Of WHeat"!!
Okay,
I blew up the picture and I see a pipe that runs up vertically along the side. This is either a vent so the grain doesn't blow up as it is sitting there (seriosuly, grain elevators do blow up due to the fermenting grain releaseing gas)
or perhaps these are exhaust pipes for some sort of heating system so that the liquiD doesn't freeze (but, I don't see any steam or heat coming from this).
There is some sort of "vertical Gauge" that seems to let you know how much is inside.
Maybe it holds well water for irrigation during the summer time and it has to be heated sometimes during the growing season due to low temperatures at night.
You see Tim (and his most faithfull BLOG follwers), I'm really quite a boring blogger when I'm in serious dialogue. I CAN be geeky if I want , but I'd rather be a smart-ass!!
Well, out in the middle of fields, I can only imagine it is either for irrigation or spreading of liquid cow poop (like they do here).
I would imagine it is some sort of pump-house (brilliantly deduced from what you named the picture when I clicked on it).
Grain silos, is my guess. The pipe is where noxious gases escape (CO2, NH3, other decomposition gases, CH4 even). Silage silos, perhaps. They're the worst.. grain, millet, corn, sorghum, plus alfalfa and clover, all heating and brewing into a stinking noxious mess that cows LUUUUUVVVVVVVVV. It's green, brown, soupy, and very warm. Yuck.
That's my guess anyway. gotta feed those cows
