My dad had 5 round cribs back in the day. He ground cattle feed from 2 of them and sometimes part of a 3rd. The others got shelled out.
Any rate, 3 of them were on concrete pads like a grain bin. 2 we'd have to build a "tunnel" from 2 courses of set in place concrete blocks and planks down the center for the vertical ventilator. Those got emptied via shovel into the feed mixer and the tunnel dismantled as it went. If there was any corn in there past early spring rains, we'd have rotten stuff along the bottom and does that stink! Dad saw the setup a farm some miles away had and when the last 2 cribs were setup he had that duplicated. There base was made of 3 rows of concrete block piers or foundation walls in a square and a wood platform on top of that with the wire crib set on top. The advantage of this was the cobs on the bottom around the edge would dry out from the cracks between the planks and air flow through the spaces between the "walls". We had almost no rotten cobs with those cribs.
