Hi Ken . 01gentdc and JD Seller have outlined very well why tower silos sit unused . I could add that many towers you may see are too old and no longer safe to fill . Stave silos built in the 60's and 70's are really in need of being taken down . Towers hat held only high moisture corn can be fine inside , but silos that held corn silage , can be eaten away by the acid. Stave silos that where filled with silage that was too wet , and ran , can be eroded between the staves. This will make the silo leak air , and spoil the silage , as well as weaken the tower. most old silos have old unloaders that are woren out , and a new unloader can cost upwards of 30 grand , and you can build a new bunker with more capacity for the same money.I know of hundreds of towers that sit unused in my area ,, and can see a dozen or more from my home farm that are no longer filled.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
