Posted by SilentEv0 Outside the barn there are massive hedges stretching out for about 200 yards. the whole place is surrounded by barbed wire fence.

I forgot about the Cornhusker Ammo Plant. They made artillery ammo there in WWII and it was operated by a subsidiary of Quaker Oats. Making artillery ammo doesn't sound like a Quaker type of business, but hey.
That's probably it. The hedges and the place being surrounded by barbed wire fences fits that location. The "showers" are probably sprinklers for fire suppression.
BTW: those aren't aren't hedges, but the backstops of firing ranges.
It's still an active military installation to some degree. A fair piece of it is a state wildlife area. There also a Hornady (ammunition manufacturer) plant on the former grounds and a potash mill.
