T.M.O. - not really very interesting. Price c. 67 per kg.

The area is wired off with barbed wire. Beki imi, {gl : they say there's a watchman} but it struck me theft would be dead easy if well planned.

i(1288 Bahri Glgenc) seemed to be in charge of actual unloading and said he had a contract. But he did a lot of the physical work himself - cf. his
interview.

A queue of rmork {gl : trailers}and lorries coming in, being weighed, processed by officials and then driving over to the storage bins. See photos.
Grain is stored on plastic sheeting, covered by plastic sheeting and earth. Mice must have a field day.
Bottleneck appeared to be unloading the wheat. i(Bekir) was working alone or with one person. Owners unwilling to help because they do not get paid to do
so.
