EPISODE FIVE: Rick Smith is The Frontiersman of Silo City
Presented by 85West Communications
In 2006, Rick Smith bought an abandoned industrial site now known as Silo City. At one time, it was the biggest grain port on the planet. But the grain industry has long since croaked in Buffalo, and most grain companies left decades ago.
