Hi Cody,

If it is a gin, the brick area grid south of the motor mounts might have
been the footing for the gin equipment itself, and the concrete pads could
have been loading dock areas for moving ginned, pressed bales away from the
gin equipment. Are there footings for a seed barn adjacent to the building?
