Fourteen foot diameter isn't a lot of floor space. If you build the new silo can you build it to serve a modern purpose that could add value to your property: tool shed; storage shed; lawn mower storage; feed shed; chicken coop; sheep or goat barn; calf barn; grainery?
Some of the reasons so many obsolete buildings and silos are torn down include: reducing property taxes, reducing insurance costs; clearing the space for other uses; eliminate potential dangers; preparing the property for sale (many potential buyers see obsolete buildings as a liability because it will cost them money to have them removed). I would check with your county tax assessor, insurance agent and a local realtor to find out what the hidden costs of a new silo might be. When it's time to sell the property, it's possible the new silo could hurt your property value.
I do appreciate your later "surprised" post that you don't like unwanted advice. These are simply some of the things I would take into account before building a new silo, they may not apply in your situation.
