granary
Let an agent handle granaries by type, construction, storage conditions, pests, safety and heritage.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle granaries by type, construction, storage conditions, pests, safety and heritage.
A building or structure for storing threshed grain or animal feed, from traditional raised granaries such as horreos and corn cribs to communal and parish granaries and modern silos.
What it is for: Protecting stored grain from damp, pests and theft.
