Airship Transporting Grain - Postcard from a Solarpunk Future (imgur.com)

A quick one based on u/Sam-Nales's comment about combining airship mooring masts with screw conveyors/screw elevators similar to those used by grain silos on my last post over on reddit. I talked it over with the folks on the farming community: https://slrpnk.net/post/3643695 and feel like there's a definite place for grain and silos in a solarpunk world. This was a quick one, the zoomed out scenes often are.

I'm not sure a mooring mast is entirely necessary here, with the big, recently-reaped fields to land on, but perhaps this farm is using a system compatible to other farms nearby who use more agroforestry, and wouldn't necessarily like having to clear a patch of empty land just for landing airships

Maybe not for transporting the grain, but I could imagine them being very useful to transport the large machines for harvesting grain as they tend to be quite slow and road access will probably be not as good when most transport is done by means other than cars.
