מגדל התבואות
נבנה בשנת תרצ"א (1931) ונועד לאחסון הגרעינים בממגורות. עד אז נאספו הגרעינים בשקים שמילאו את החצר הגדולה. הזיפזיף והחול הובאו על גבי גמלים.
בתפקידו זה שימש המגדל עד שנת 1957.

Translation of the text on the sign:

The grain tower
Built in 1931 and designed to store the grists in silos. Until then, the grists were collected in sacks that filled the large yard. The plum and sand were brought on camels.
In that capacity, the tower served until 1957.
