Harvestor silos can absolutely be reused. And 25 years ago the market for used Blue Monuments were in hit demand. Now in 2022, there is little demand, and you will have trouble getting much out of yours. Some are being knocked down and cut up for scrap, sad. There are two things that have killed off the market.
