Numerous silos. storage bins, and hopper bins have transformed the structure to be competative in the 21st Century. In 1946, Nelson & Sons bought out the Bennion families holdings to become Nelson & Sons Flour & Feed Mill.

In the 1950's, the flour production was discontinued as was soon after the livestock feed supply. The mill then adjusted & revamped to become a fish food production mill, designing, mixing, and supplying fish food to various agencies, targeting specifically the game/wild fish populations.
