I don't think I was in grade school yet when the last silo filling was on this farm. The silo got porous and dad didn't feel like replastering it again for the few cattle he had. 3-4 neighbors got together, my uncle had the 2 row chopper green and orange as I recall mostly green, pulled with a 17xx or 18xx Oliver gas.
