In addition:

Dry corn puts more pressure on the silo, so
most of the time you can only fill 2/3 - 3/4.
Need to check with silo manufaturer if it was
built for dry grain.

Difficult to reach that high with augers, so
another way to fill it is to run a short auger into
the blower pipe - run the blower to shoot the
corn up, but don't run the corn through the
blower.

Putting a floor in the bottom and vents on top
(doors open) is a good idea, or you can mold
a lot of 'dry' corn in a hurry. Tall & skinny, so
needs a strong fan to get airflow.

Unloading - by now, a person wonders why
they bothered using the silo, and didn't just put
up a good bin & do it right to start with instead
of wasting the money.....
